Vintage: 2007 Winemaker’s Tasting Notes:A dense ruby purple color, the wine reveals a gorgeous intense bouquet of jammy ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry interspersed with sweet vanilla, lavender, cedar, and smoky oak. Very rich and full-bodied, this wine offers the same bold fruit impressions on the palate. The mouth feel is creamy, with gorgeous tannins, which lead to a long finish.Winemaking Techniques:
Clusters were destemmed, hand sorted and the temperature was increased for fermentation to maximize color and tannin extraction. The wine was aged in 100% new French oak for twenty-three months. Age of Vines: Eighteen years
