A very savory wine, aromas lead off with saucisson sec, herbs de Provence, raspberry jam, boysenberry syrup, steak tartare, and black pepper. An intensely rich wine, the mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth tannins, and a long finish.

Established in 2014, McKahn Family Cellars has dedicated itself to crafting site specific Rhône varietal wines of quality and character. We are not beholden to any single appellation and will search near and far for a vineyard that will produce fruit that meet our standard. California is blessed with some of the most diverse terroir in the world, and our wines reflect that wealth of diversity from the Russian River Valley to the Napa Valley; from the Sierra Foothills to the Livermore Valley.
