Winemaker Notes
· The aromatics are filled with big, beautiful red fruit notes of cherry and raspberry, alongside sweet spice, mocha and cedar
· On the palate, this wine is smooth and inviting, with well-integrated tannins and lingering raspberry and dark chocolate flavors
Production
· 2009 presented certain challenges—from early shatter to late-season rain
· We responded with site-specific techniques that included aggressive leafing, an early thinning protocol and a heavy field sort to select only the most desirable grapes
· Attention to detail in the vineyards, and during harvest and sorting, yielded high quality fruit
