Elizabeth Spencer Winery, founded in 1998, begins with a belief that wine should be delicious, inviting, and representative of its place of origin, which is evident in every bottle. Balanced, elegant, and approachable, Elizabeth Spencer wines are made from grapes grown in Northern California’s finest wine regions, focusing on Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Mendocino. They consider themselves stewards of the land, with a profound responsibility to pass along a clean environment and revitalized, healthy soil to future generations. They look to the future with a focus on farming practices and partnering with growers that have an equal commitment to the land.

This wine shows a ripe cherry hue in the glass, with aromas of cocoa and hints of cassis. A well-integrated palate offers ripe plum on the entry and finishes with dark fruits like blackberries and crushed raspberries. It’s nicely balanced, with rich tannins, integrated acidity, and a great finish. This wine is approachable now and will age wonderfully.
