The vineyard has a complex mixture of gravelly, rocky alluvial and volcanic soils with three different exposures. The site is sunny and hot during the day and cool at night, which extends the growing season and brings the fruit to full ripeness.

This rich, dark wine has an expressive bouquet of blackberries, lavender and mint. The flavors include cassis, black cherries and wild blueberries, with undertones of cedar, licorice, and dark chocolate.
