Vintage Notes
2009 was a cooler vintage with fewer heat spikes than in the past few years,
allowing for uniform ripening in the Alexander Valley which led to wines with good
structure, balance and complexity. Overall, the vintage is more elegant than in
many recent years. Kevin blended in a small amount of Petite Sirah to broaden the
mouthfeel on the wine and add a little more dark fruit to the palate.
Winemaker Notes
There are aromas of raspberry, plum, black cherry, and a touch of citrus. Flavors of
plum, black cherry, black pepper, spice and pomegranate fill the glass.
Tasting Notes
Grilled meats; Italian cuisine including pizza, pasta with tomato
sauces, or eggplant parmigiana; roasted or grilled chicken are just a few of our
favorites. This wine is versatile and holds up to bold fresh flavors in most cuisines.
