2022 International Womens Wine Competition: 98 Points and Best of Class.
Product Description:
The fruit for this wine is harvested by hand from the Ehret Family’s estate
Bavarian Lion Vineyards located in Knights Valley. The Knights Valley AVA is
protected from the marine influence of the Pacific Ocean, making it the
warmest AVA in Sonoma County. The vineyards on the estate range from
400-800 feet in elevation and are located just north of Calistoga and east of
Alexander Valley, on the foothills of Mount St. Helena. The unique topography
and soil content make this a most desirable area to grow Bordeaux and
Northern Rhône grapes. The soil consists of well drained, very gravelly and
sandy loams formed from mixed sedimentary and basic rock. - Winery
