Dried apple peels and flesh meet with damp but drying cement on the nose of this bottling. Theres a vibrant texture to the palate, where grass, lime peel, lemongrass and rainy sidewalk flavors align. Producer Information Tooth & Nail Wine Company was founded by Rob Murray, an upstart grower who bootstrapped his winery from the trenches of the vineyard. The challenges imposed by nature were numerous, but he was determined to gain the upper hand. To this day, Tooth & Nail remains rooted in this core aspiration. The Tooth & Nail winery and vineyard resides in the Willow Creek District AVA of Paso Robles on Californias Central Coast. Willow Creek is a small district in the path of cool marine air that flows through the Templeton Gap, a notch in the coastal mountains. The soils at the Tooth & Nail vineyard are composed of mixed limestone and clay. Tooth & Nail also sources grapes from other Paso Robles vineyards that are under their viticultural controlenabling us to grow the fruit to their exacting specifications and to build natural complexity into their wines.
