The Estate takes its moniker from the natural creek running through the area, which was named by Spanish settlers for the Pomo Indian deer hunts once common in the area. The wine has a red garnet colour while the nose is marked with aromas of black cherry, wild red berries, cassis, and sweet oak.

The Estate takes its moniker from the natural creek running through the area, which was named by Spanish settlers for the Pomo Indian deer hunts once common in the area. Predominately Merlot, this wine is also comprised of a small portion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The Merlot fruit is sourced from the vineyard surrounding the Estate and Jackson Park, the Estate-owned mountain vineyard located 930-feet above Bennett Valley. The Bennett Valley fruit benefits from wide swings between daytime and evening temperatures resulting from a cool maritime breeze. This breeze, called the Petaluma Wine Gap is captured by the three mountains that envelop Bennett Valley – Bennett Mountain, Sonoma Mountain and Taylor Mountain. The well-draining, sandy loam soils also contribute to Bennett Valley’s model growing conditions for Merlot. Bennett Valley and Russian River Valley source the Syrah fruit for this blend, while Knights Valley is the primary source of Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine begins with a powerful nose that surpassingly leads with rich Bennett Valley grown Syrah. Black cherries, boysenberry and vanilla prevail on the palette. The Merlot fruit contributes a slight hint of smoke, resulting from basalt, an ancient ocean floor rock found in Bennett Valley soil. The concentration and intensity of Bennett Valley grown Merlot provides for an exceptionally full mid-palette and, what their French Assistant Winemaker called a uniquely long Cudali, translated as a 'finish that continues well after the wine is swallowed.'
