Notes on the Wine
Aromas of strawberry jam, blueberry, and burning embers. Straightforward on the palate, this is a very fresh and lively wine. It has a long, meaty, and earthy finish.
Notes on the Producer
Birichino was established by Alex Krause and John Locke, two Bonny Doon veterans. Emphasizing old vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation (though they go as far afield as the Sierra Foothills), Krause and Locke craft their wines with a light hand. These are lower-alcohol, food-friendly wines that have the clarity and lift to allow terroir to shine through.
