Tasting Notes

Generous layers of wild strawberries, dark cherries, and an essence of blackberry jam emanates gracefully from the glass. Rustic undertones of black tea, cedar, pine, and saddle leather compliment the dominant fruit profile. A refreshingly bright entry provides balance, while firm, yet silky tannins persist all the way from mid-palate to a resounding finish.

Vineyard Notes

The Toboni Oakwild Ranch vineyard is located in the Santa Rosa Plain, just south of the winery. Each morning, the vineyard is bathed in fog that rises off the river and cools the vines, while sunny, warm days and breezy afternoons tend to heighten the intensity and complexity of the fruit flavor. Planted in 2001 to clones 115, 667, 777 and Pommard, all on 101-14 rootstock, the Toboni’s have painstakingly matched soils and climate with optimal rootstock and clonal selections every step of the way. The soil is clay loam with some mineral and gravel composites. With a winegrowing triple threat of cool fog, sunny afternoons and excellent farming practices, this vineyard produces gorgeous wines with intense, complex earthy and spicy aromas, along with refined, ripe cherry, plum, cranberry and cola flavors.
