From the Arroyo Seco region of Monterey, California, it is part of their Heritage Block line from a family-owned winery, whose roots date back to 1883. Enticing aromas of ripe peach, pineapple, and Bartlett pear greet the nose, and carry through on the richly textured palate. The oak influence gives it extra body. Wafts of smoke and vanilla emerge on the lingering finish from eight months spent on the lees.
