Thicket
Dark, Bold, & Complex Red
While Napa Valley has a long history of winemaking, it wasn’t the first region on the west coast to make fine wine. The distinction of being the birthplace of world-class wines in California goes to Sonoma County. Since the 1850’s family owned vineyards have dotted the region, all taking advantage of the warm days and cool nights. The Thicket Red is a perfect award-winning example of Sonoma wine with a full body and open, jewel-like fruit—it’s almost Burgundian in composition. With a kiss of vanilla and spice, this wine is a fantastic accompaniment to anything coming off of the grill. It took home a silver medal at the 2018 Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge, the 2018 North of the Gate Wine Challenge, and the 2018 Critics Challenge!

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Sonoma County](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1852/normal/California_Sonoma_County.png?1616011086)
Sonoma County
Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.

This wine has a touch of Burgundy in its soul—a touch of red fruit with strong minerality and good acidity. We love how open it is in the mouth. Taste this wine and feel the balance between the high acidity and the full body.
