Santa Barbara County Ravie | Âmevive

A delicate rendition of a GSM blend, with fresh plum and blackberry flavours and modest alcohol levels. The label, painted by Alice's mother, shows a Calypte Anna (or Anna's Hummingbird), a hummingbird native to the North American west-coast and occasionally sighted in Alice's vineyards.
