  • Description
    <p>Collier Falls Vineyard is a 100-acre hillside property located in the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County. It was purchased in 1997 and had been originally planted in 1982 as a Zinfandel vineyard. A sixty-foot waterfall on the property gives this vineyard its name.</p><p>&ldquo;This wine shows a dark ruby color... the bouquet has a definitive cassis aroma with hints of blackberry. The mouth feel is rich and full with continued nuances of cassis and chocolate through the mid-palate. The wine finishes cleanly with red berries, a hint of tobacco and velvety smooth tannins,&rdquo; C&eacute;cile Lemerle-Derbes, winemaker.</p>
