Winemaker Notes
“Fresh pitted fruit aromas of dark cherry and plum supported underneath by structural notes of subtle cocoa, cardamom and clove. The rounded tannins and integrated oak shine in a lush mid-palate mouthfeel that transitions to a smooth lingering finish. The classic freshness and complexity amply demonstrate the terroir.”
– Ashley Heisey
Vineyard Notes
An early bud break, one of the longest flowering periods in years, and a long growing season produced a vintage that shines in quality. Spring started fast and an early bloom was met with a dip in temperature, wind and rains, which slowed the development and reduced yields. The result was a small crop of extremely well-concentrated fruit that ripened fully and slowly before an early harvest in August.
Food Pairing Notes
Grass-fed Highland beef, lamb, or roasted game
