Production Notes

Winemaker Notes

Here’s what I tasted last night with my diner [NY Strip (Steak Diane) grilled vegetables & roasted Dijon potatoes]. Lots of ripe, spicy plum, cherry and berry here, with toasty oak flavors, too. With good length and rounded tannins, it's ready now through 2025. I’m thinking this one will garner a 95 to 98 points SF wine competition in January at the current price point.
