2022 Paper Street Cuvée
In the Willow Creek District lies Paper Street Vineyard. This land was previously used for barley and almonds until the mid-1990s. It was mostly abandoned until the Dusi family planted vines there. The limestone-white hills, hot days, and cool nights contribute to the production of concentrated, vibrant, and mineral-driven wines.
