Fantastic aromas of red currant and raspberry are layered in dust, sage and toasted bay leaf on the dynamic nose of this bottling. The palate is deeply savory, with oregano and woodspice flavors that balance the rich raspberry and cranberry flavors. Drink now-2038. — Matt Kettmann

THE PEOPLE & THE PLACE

Center of Effort

Our winemaking philosophy at Center of Effort is to honor the natural character of our fruit, employing thoughtful craftsmanship to coax our wines into true expressions of our special _terroir_. There is nothing expedient in our approach. We embrace the detailed, labor-intensive methods required to make the finest wines. Our wines are fermented and aged in small lots, always with a gentle touch, and frequently relying on experienced intuition to guide our decisions.

Edna Valley

The single coolest sub-AVA in the new SLO Coast, with a long growing season and year-round fog. This cool climate maritime allows fruit to slowly ripen while preserving its natural acidity.
