2024 "Hero's Journey" Kelsey Bench Lenoir (Red Wine)

"Hero's Journey" is a red wine made from the relatively unknown Lenoir grape. Grown in the Kelsey Bench AVA, this intrepid grape, known for its inky hue and intense aromatics, thrives in the region's volcanic soils. Blackberry jam, violets, and a little spice leap from the glass, while the fresh palate delivers lush flavors of red and blue fruit, backed by delicate tannins and a graceful finish. Serve with heartier fare like grilled lamb, wild mushroom risotto, or aged gouda. #forthehostsonoma
