The Checkerboard Vineyards Impetuous is a vivid expression of Diamond Mountain’s volcanic terroir. Deep ruby in color, the wine opens with a bouquet of ripe Bing cherries, wild blackberries, and fresh blueberries, mingling with notes of caramel and a hint of savory herbs. The palate is plush and fruit-forward, delivering layers of juicy dark berries intertwined with delicate floral undertones and subtle baking spices. Balanced acidity and smooth tannins provide structure, while a lingering finish of spiced fruit and toasty oak adds depth and complexity. Crafted for immediate enjoyment, this wine showcases Checkerboard’s signature elegance in a more accessible form.
