Cassis, dusty dark chocolate covered blueberries, black olives and dried herbs
The palate is fruit forward with cassis and layered red and blue fruits. The wine is soft and juicy on the entry and is followed by chewy tannins in the mid palate and a lick of sweet oak tannin on the finish.
An early bud break, one of the longest flowering periods in years, and a long
growing season produced a vintage that shines in quality. Spring started fast
and an early bloom was met with a dip in temperature, wind and rains, which
slowed the development and reduced yields. The result was a small crop of
extremely well-concentrated fruit that ripened fully and slowly before an early
harvest in September.
