Coming from hand picked grapes taken at the estate winery , Almost impenetrable dark ruby. A seductive amalgamation of red berries and dark cherries with cigar-box notes and hints of black olives. Super-accessible, lush and supple on the palate, with the gentle grip of soft, grainy tannins on the finish. This can age further, but why wait?

Winter was dry and an early spring triggered bud break at the end of March. Freezing temperatures followed, reducing yields in lower elevation vineyards. Dry conditions throughout the season resulted in little fungal pressure but became problematic in August when temperatures rose, further reducing yield. The resulting wines are incredibly good and one of the best vintages from this area.
