Winemaker Norm Yost racks up bundles of sagebrush, wild mint and all manner of fresh-cut chaparral on the nose of this stellar bottling, which comes from a vineyard on one of California’s longest-held ranchos. The herbally driven palate mixes black and green olives with fresh raspberry juice and black pepper.
