Nose

A dream bouquet of delicious black currants, integrated with sweet oak, and luscious cassis aromas.

Palate

Well integrated oak and dark fruits to compliment a rich and velvety mouthfeel. Fine tannins create balance for a long, elegant finish.

Harvest

The 2017 growing season, began with ample rainfall, followed by a moderate Spring resulting in extended flowering with minimal shatter. Harvest began with a Labor Day weekend heatwave, then cool weather allowed sugar levels to return to normal. The vines responded with full, healthy canopies for the long growing season.
