2012 was a warm, steady vintage after a string of cooler vintages, resulting in wines that have amazing phenolic maturity and suave fluidity. The 2012 Kashaya embodies these characteristics boldly, with a lush mouthfeel that is full of finesse. The aromatics of sassafras, black cherry, hot stones, turmeric, cinnamon and clove lead into a palate that is big and rich, yet balanced by beautiful vivacity and integrated acidity. Once again this vineyard on the true Sonoma Coast delivers.
