The grapes for this wine originate from Kazmet Ranch in Redwood Valley and are CCOF certified organic. Located in the inland, warmer reaches of Mendocino County, this mature, head-pruned, dry-farmed vineyard provides dense fruit flavors. Aromas of briar fruit, earth, dried meat, brioche, and spicy wood notes effuse out of the glass. Fleshy and full on the palate with concentrated flavors of boysenberries, blueberries, cracked white pepper, and resinous pine tar and soft to medium tannins on the finish. A small amount of Viognier (5%) was added to soften the tannins and add floral notes. Fermented in open top tanks, minimizing the extraction of any bitter tannins. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (20% new).

Handley Cellars
Handley Cellars was founded by Milla Handley, the first female owner and winemaker to establish a winery under her own name. When Handley founded her winery in 1982, it was the same year Anderson Valley was granted AVA status and she was dubbed the "Pioneer Queen" of Anderson Valley AVA. Captivated by the valley's potential, Handley was drawn to the northwest corner of the region, or what the locals call the "deep end," where the valley narrows and follows the Navarro River to the Pacific Ocean. In 1986 she began planting her first vineyard, now 28 acres. The cool locale proved ideal for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Redwood Valley
The Redwood Valley is a small sub-AVA located in northern Mendocino County, California. Known for its higher elevation and cooler climate compared to surrounding areas, Redwood Valley benefits from cooler temperatures, especially at night, which promotes slower grape ripening and leads to balanced acidity and complex flavors in the wines.
