The 28 C.C. Ranch has many layers of flavors that are quite distinct. Darkcherry fruit with hints of violet mix with black tea and earth to lend an exoticcharacter to the wine. The natural Rutherford Dust and toasty French oakcomplement the fruit. The silky entry gets fleshier as the fine tannins from thisvintage build on the middle palate and progress into a long, smooth finish.
