Aromas of cocoa, blueberry and violets, this vintage of Croquet Vineyard has big and chewy tannins that fill the mid-palate. Full bodied, yet soft, the wine finishes with excellent length and balanced texture.

Vineyard Notes: The Clif Family Winery Croquet Vineyard is located on the north side of Howell Mountain on Ink Grade Road. Named for the professional croquet court on the property, these vines are planted on a steep slope at an elevation of 1785 ft.
