Palate
Elegant with a prounounced perfume of red berries, toast, licorice and a breath of hibiscus.
Harvest
October was met with harsh weather and brought windstorms, hail and snow through mid October. Finally, our harvest window had arrived as the weather cleared and skies opened up. We were given some comfortable warm days to finish the harvest and extra time for vines to shut down properly as the weather eased along a perfect fall weather curve.
