Palate

The 2013 Seduction red blend is complex and dynamic with a mosaic bouquet that entices the senses with interplays of blueberry, black currant, licorice, vanilla, caramel, and a subtle oak; it shows pure and balanced on the palette with a long and flavorful finish.

Growing Conditions

“Early, even and excellent” are three words being used to describe this year’s growing season… A warm, dry spring brought early bud break, helped with canopy vigor and berry size and created ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set under sunny skies. With the exception of one heat spike in late June/early July, temperatures were consistently in the zone for optimal vine activity, resulting in notably healthy vines as fruit went through veraison and started ripening.
