‘Another Rare Creature,’ indeed. Matthew Rorick continues to push the boundaries of California winemaking with his single varietal expressions of obscure grapes and his obscure take on the more common. Their ‘Queen of the Sierra’ wines combine Matthew and Danielle’s creativity, spunk, and affability right in the bottle. The red is a field blend of estate grown fruit that shows dynamic tension between the bright, fruit-driven palate, supple tannins, and lively acidity. Discover notes of raspberry compote and crunchy cherry with delightful spice and earthiness.

Pairings: Sweet potato and black bean nachos
