This is the coolest site that Banshee sources from and has a west facing aspect that’s surrounded by an old forest. The 2-acre vineyard is located near the town of Occidental, with soils composed of sandy loam, which is typical of the ridge tops of this portion of western Sonoma County. The wine opens in the glass with aromas reminiscent of teaberry, red raspberry, lavender and cherry pie. This leads to flavors of red cherry, pomegranate, kumquat and red raspberry. A bit on the lean side, but certainly tasty and should continue to develop with additional time in bottle. (Best 2016-2026) - March, 2016 (OB)
