An intriguing nose of clove, violets and earth weave together with plentiful red and blue uits. A juicy entry continues
into a re eshing and lightly weighted palate. Bursts of cranberry combine with undertones of lavender and black walnut
layered with plum which continue to develop in flavor and complexity throughout the finish.
The growing season was marked by low yields, hot summer weather, and sufficient fall hang time to produce wines
with intense aromatics and concentrated flavors. A er a typical bud break in mid-April and moderate temperatures
through May, conditions cooled in June. July and August were hot, but the weather cooled again in September to slow
ripening just enough to give the grapes extra time on the vine to ripen fully.
