Winemaker Notes
· Deep and brambly mountain fruit aromas of wild berry and peppery spice are elevated by subtle layers of toasty vanilla, dark mocha and dried tobacco
· Concentrated wild berry flavors mingle with elements of clove and cedar that segue to a long, lingering finish
Production
· A long, moderately cool summer led to a harvest spread out between mid-August and November
· The relaxed pace allowed us to pick in numerous passes, focusing on individual rows or a single side of the vines
· Early frosts and drought conditions were countered with a meticulous approach to viticulture and sorting
· 2008 yielded small crops with good concentration and soft, appealing tannins
