Situated on a gentle south-facing hill west of Santa Rosa, the Ewald Vineyard is one of the first vineyards to be picked for Siduri. The Ewald vineyard does not like to be picked ripe and makes much more interesting wines if it is picked on the earlier side. Showing bright, fresh cherry and raspberry aromatics with subtle floral notes on the nose, the Ewald is rich and luscious. The tannins are silky, acidity is lively, and the color is a beautiful inky dark ruby. This vineyard has beautiful aromatics and fruit purity that make it a great candidate to drink early but shows enough restraint to earn it plenty of ageing time in the cellar.
