About This Wine
The complimentary vineyards of John Sebastiano, Hapgood and the Perilune Vineyard – planted on steep slopes of the Sta. Rita Hills – proved to be wonderful blend partners. They seamlessly offer flavors of the full spectrum of red, blue and black fruits, with a finely tannic structure woven together against a backdrop of fresh acidity that made this one of our favorites of the 2021 vintage.
