The wine has an initial spiced cherry character, opening slowly into aromas of cedar, rose petal, tangy sarsaparilla, redcurrant, and baking spices. The tannins are fine and dusty, lending a firm structure to the wine's delicate ripeness.

The Laetitia Estate Vineyards were first planted to grapes in 1982 when French viticulturists found ideal growing conditions in the Arroyo Grande Valley for producing wines of similar character to those of their homeland in Epernay, France. Nineteen years later, the property would be acquired by Selim Zilkha, founder of a successful wind power development company and champion of environmental sustainability. Between his qualifications in renewable energy solutions and his passion for the pleasures of the harvest, Selim has developed Laetitia into the home of some of California's highest quality, sustainably-produced wines View More
