Written Notes

12.9% alc., 750 cases, $39. Sourced from two distinct vineyards representing the extreme northwestern edge of the AVA and the southernmost tip of the AVA. 3-day lag time, 100% whole cluster, fruit crushed and punched down by feet, native yeast primary fermentation and native malolactic fermentation in barrel, aged 17 months in the lees in neutral French oak barrels without racking. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. More fruity nose upon opening with aromas of tutti-fruity, cherry, rose petal and spice, evolving to a more savory aromatic profile over time. The mid weight core of lovely black cherry and black raspberry fruit is accented with cardamom spice and a floral infusion. Satiny in texture with a somewhat sinewy tannic backbone, the wine finishes with a noticeable grip of tannin. Unchanged when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 89
