Wine Notes
Description

Vintage Notes
Similar to the 07 vintage, hot conditions in the late spring and early summer were offset by cooler nighttime temperatures all summer and cooler overall temperatures closer to maturity maintaining optimal natural acidity levels, creating balanced flavors and allowing for extended hang times.

Winemaker Notes
Crushed gently and dropped by gravity into 1.5 ton bins, cold soaked for 24 to 72 hours, then inoculated with a variety of yeasts, hand-punched and pressed directly to barrel where the wine finishes both primary and secondary fermentations.
Tasting Notes
Full bodied with ripe scents of black currant and violets, rich aromas of caramel and a touch of peppery spice intertwined with lively acidity dark berries, and velvety tannins.
