Nose
The nose is an unfolding story of ripe, lush, black fruit, warm crushed rock, mocha, and vanilla.
Palate
The evolution as the wine warms from cellar temperature to room temperature is dramatic as the wine becomes more and more
expressive. The wine is very focused on the palate with a super-pure cassis front and mid-palate that resolves into a finish that is just like the bouquet.
Growing Conditions
The 2007 vintage was an “easy” year. A warm growing season produced a large crop of ripe, healthy fruit. Large for us, by the way, means about 1.5 tons per acre on our Cabernet and Merlot.
