Nestled on the edge of a tree-capped promontory in the northern reaches of the foothills, Lazy River is a study in juxtaposition; south-facing yet much more sheltered than the surrounding ridges.  It sits 400 feet above sea level atop a rare convergence of both marine sediment and volcanic soil.   These moderating influences create a unique combination of depth and earthy richness. 

The 2019 Lazy River almost shines when it hits the glass with a brilliant, pale ruby hue. The aromas are complex and powerful: cacao, red cherries, fresh fennel, and sandalwood jump out of the glass. The palate is rich and feels almost like a cordial with a velvety texture, spice box, and creamy red fruit packed densely together. The finish is lengthy and fresh, with invigorating acidity supporting, rather than overwhelming the fruit.
