Baileyana Description
The coolest growing region in all of California, as cited in a study by Southern Oregon University, the Edna Valley is a mere 5.4 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Consequently, the extended growing season allows grapes grown here to develop intense and complex varietal flavors, while achieving optimum maturity levels. Known as the “Dirt of the Devil,” the soils in the northern portion of the valley are also unique. As Islay Hill is the most southern sibling in a chain of extinct volcanoes known as the Seven Sisters, volcanic remnants are combined with clay loam and rocky marine sediment, offering a distinct mix of nutrients and good drainage.
Tasting Note: Opening with inviting aromas of caramel and mandarin orange, leading into a vibrant palate layered with pineapple, guava, and honeydew melon. Hints of cinnamon and toasted marshmallow evoke a subtle warmth, balanced by bright acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lifted. The creamy finish lingers with notes reminiscent of key lime pie and a touch of s’mores, offering a rich yet refreshing conclusion.
