Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Seductive, bewildering and racy aromas that lead to blueberry,
cranberry and morel mushroom flavors enveloped in a sexy, beguiling perfume. A wine
that delivers pleasure wrapped in a luxurious, fine lace-like delicious texture. Serve at
63° F.
Vineyard Notes
2011 was a vintage that required patience, adaptation and know
how. We experienced 1/3 more rainfall than usual that lasted into June followed by a
very cool summer. The effect was a slow growing season that ended in one of the latest
harvests on record; harvest that was marked by rain at the peak of the harvest season.
Early ripening varieties excelled however as they were not victims to the late season
rain.
Winemaker's Notes
Four day cold maceration, fermented in open top tanks with a percentage of whole clusters in one of them using pigeage as the primary extraction tool. 20 days total skin contact time followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel. Aged in 100% French oak barrels (70% new) for 12 months.
