Wine Details
Price:
$29.00 per bottle
Description:
In 2003, the median bud break in Block 7 occurred April 8. Median bloom was June 3 and median veraison was August 12. Harvest was October 16 with the yield of 2.5 tons per acre. The alcoholic fermentation was completed in approximately ten days in closed stainless steel fermentation tanks. The wine was then pressed and put into barrels for malolactic fermentation. Aging was sixteen months in 100% French oak barrels, 35% were new.
The flavors of this wine are reminiscent of bright red cherries, blackberries and milk chocolate with floral notes. Subtle spices are also apparent. The French oak is well integrated, adding a layer of complexity and refinement to the wine. It has a round mouth feel and the supple fine tannins that are characteristic of Block 7.
