About this product

---

"Chimera is one of my earliest wines, the name taken from Greek mythology... "a monster comprised of three different animals" as is depicted on the label. Originally blended from three vineyards back in 2001, it now primarily is derived from three very diverse areas/sub- appellations of Russian River where both cool temps and dense fog blend with the effects of mildly warmer weather to evoke very precise yet rich and full flavors. Soil types are Laniger Loam, with a Yolo Loam over-wash and Gold Ridge Fine Sandy Loam. Floral aromas of hibiscus and graham crackers. Concentrated flavors of crushed rose petals, cranberry, cran-raisins, roasted strawberry. 2023 Chimera is fleshy, medium bodied, with balanced acid and tannins." -Capiaux Vineyard
