14.2% alc., pH 3.77, TA 0.60, 90
cases, $60. Released fall 2012. 2.1-acre vineyard planted in 2007. Clay loam soils. Pommard clone on
101-14 rootstock, 3.5’ x 7’, yields 1.25 tons per acre. Aged in 17% new, 33% 1-year and 50% 2-3-year-old

·
Medium reddish-purple robe in the glass. The nose starts out promising with aromas of
fresh dark cherries and raspberries but becomes somewhat dull over time with hints of briar and stem. Black
cherry and dark red berry flavors are featured with a subtle green note in the background. Moderately intense
with a creamy texture and long finish. This wine should improve over time. Good.
