Winemaker Notes
· Broad chewy tannins on the entry lead to a dense, dark mid-palate
· A long satisfying finish offers enticing dark chocolate, tarragon and subtle oak spice notes
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
