Vineyard Notes

The vineyard enjoyed a relatively unstressful growing season. January was bone dry and February rainfall was slight. e harvest started fast following a prolonged bloom and cold weather. Berry set was marginalized resulting in small clusters. Reds all matured rapidly but with smaller yields than the previous year.

Winemaker Notes

This wine is slightly off-dry and very smooth on the palate. Layers of dark fruit flavor concentration. Aromas: notes of bing cherry, plum, and blueberry. Rich mouthfeel with a nice acid balance.

Food Pairing Suggestions
