Winemakers Notes

Lively aromas of Bing cherries, violets, root beer and tarragon come through in the nose. A mouthful of pie cherries, raspberry, cola, herbal spices and earth is complemented by the richness of grape and toasty oak tannin in the finish. The complexity of this wine continues to show through as these vines become more and more mature.
—Winemaker Bob Cabral

Harvest Notes

Following a labor-intensive growing season due to early spring rains, a cool summer and mild fall weather extended the ripening season in 2005. This long, slow maturation period permitted flavors and color to develop to high levels, and the absence of weather threats or temperature extremes allowed fruit to be picked at optimum ripeness. The fruit quality was extremely high, contributing to balanced and elegant wines with concentrated flavors and intense color.
