Nose
Raspberry Jam and toast.
Palate
Baked cranberry, cocoa, and a breath of hibiscus.
Growing Conditions
A hot, dry spring followed by summer rains allowed our vines to push far ahead of average and thrive into a mild, frostless Fall. With the long growing season, grapes had time to build character, creating wines with plenty of color, mouthfeel and identity.
Harvest
October was ideal for harvest. Mild weather ensured steady fruit development and ripening.
