Ashes & Diamonds Red Mountain Cuvee Saffron No 5 2022

Mountain Cuvée “Saffron Vineyard” comes from Lisa Chu’s organically farmed Mt. Veeder site, located high above the fog inversion line at an altitude of 1,500 feet. The deep-rooted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapevines were planted in thin soils comprised of uplifted marine sediment and fractured shale. The resulting wine is bouncy and outgoing, with explosive red fruit aromas like biting into a ripe, juicy plum, and fine, focused tannins.
