The wine opens with foraged fruits: raspberry, and blackberry with complements of cherry and earthy umami characters. Fermented in small open-top fermenters with varying small amounts of whole-cluster, the mouthfeel has a balanced palate of freshness, cradling tannin and well-placed weight. Red fruits on the palate play toward an uplifting, enjoyable finish.
Perched upon a hill, where the San Francisco Bay meets the edges of Napa and Sonoma counties, lies Ram’s Gate Winery.
This vintage has great fruit concentration with a mouthfeel that has tension and excitement. It is a blend from Sonoma Coast (50%), Russian River Valley (28%) and Petaluma Gap (22%).
Pairs well with veal, pork, poultry, and mushroom-based dishes.
