Steve Campbell farms this vineyard in Annapolis, at the northwestern corner of the far Sonoma coast, where the vines grow under the direct influence of the Pacific. You can taste the cold coastal sun in the brisk tannins of this wine, a kind of baked tart-plum character with a spicy chill running through it. This wine is incipient in flavor development, youthfully green and red, with tension that needs a year or two to resolve in bottle before it begins to deliver on its promise for years after.
