Aromas of ripe Bing cherries, sweet herbs, rose water, earth and minerals dominate the bouquet entirely in this vintage. The concentrated flavors of wild berries, cola, minerals and spice are complemented by the rich grape tannin and linger in the finish. As this vineyard matures it is finally showing the true expression of its unique terroir.
—Winemaker Bob Cabral
A hot spell in March followed by a warm spring influenced an unusually early bloom and budbreak. This precocious start, followed by a growing season of moderate temperatures, resulted in a very early harvest. Although we harvested the grapes two to three weeks earlier than normal, the long season provided ample time for the fruit to reach full maturity and develop extraordinary color and intense flavors. A cooling trend in mid-September offered the Chardonnay additional hang time prior to harvest.
