Tasting Note: The palate is dense and decadent, loaded with dark fruits, chocolate, coffee grounds and salty soils.
Story: David is a Navy Veteran whose unit’s nickname was Rough House. Initially encouraged by those friends and fellow
service members to start a winery, David felt it was only proper to make a wine to commemorate that. In the early years, to
pay tribute to those who serve we would change the blend and often the label. These days we show our patronage by
donating proceeds from the sale of this wine to Valor Service Dogs, an organization that trains puppies to be service animals
for veterans who need them.
Retail Pricing: $45
