On the palate, the wine reveals a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavors, elegantly intertwined with notes of vanilla, tobacco, and a subtle earthiness. The texture is opulent yet impeccably balanced, with velvety tannins and a well-judged acidity that lends a refined structure. The finish is long and memorable, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and depth. Journey is a wine that not only reflects the terroir of Sonoma County but also the meticulous craftsmanship of Matanzas Creek.
