Winemaker Notes
· The palate is smooth and rich, with refined tannins and layers of sweet fruit
· Lush red-fruit flavors spotlight ripe strawberries, with hints of cinnamon and dried herbs leading to a sophisticated dried tobacco leaf 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
