Winemaker Notes
· Luscious ripe raspberry and mixed berry tart aromas from the Zinfandel are underscored by red plum and dried tarragon layers from the Merlot
· A smooth focused entry with velvety tannins
· The flavors showcase plum and cinnamon spice elements with an appealing hint of dried cherry
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
