Tasting Notes
The 2023 Lyra is a vivid expression of the Sonoma Coast. Medium ruby in hue, it opens with aromas of cranberry, rose petal, and citrus peel, layered with subtle spice and wild herbs. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, with red fruit purity, refined tannins, and lively acidity. A touch of French oak lends polish, while a saline lift carries the finish. Energetic yet composed, this wine offers both immediate appeal and aging potential.
