Grapes from Hayes Ranch in Waterford, located in the Central Valley.  The Hayes family has a very large ranch of almonds & walnuts and has a small vineyard of Zinfandel and Orange Muscat.  Their home is located on the only hill for miles around which overlooks their vast ranch and the Sierra Foothills.  Aromas of candy, both sweet and acidic.  A bright mouthfeel from the CO2 that is added during bottling.  Flavors of strawberries, crisp apple and hints of watermelon with a dry finish.
