"Currant, spiced-plum, mushroom, bark and caramel aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Juicy with a spiced, lightly herbal finish. Delicious. Drink now." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Named for the elevation of our estate wine cave in Amador County, 1646 is a barrel selection of Barbera, Zinfandel, Primitivo and Petite Sirah.  Combining the five unique Barbera vineyards with our sustainably farmed estate vineyards, we have created a balanced, fruit-forward blend.  Dark stone fruit, holiday spice, and bright cherry develop into a smooth finish with a full-bodied mouthfeel—framed through 21 months aging in 20% new French oak barrels." 

Alcohol: 14.5% 

Sustainable wine growing.
