Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
The fine vintage of 2001 saw Bruce directing a precision harvest using two different days at the end of November to pick only grape clusters optimally affected by botrytis in their desiccated glory so that these raisins could be foot stomped by the hearty winery crew; creating a sticky mess that was the happier for being tread on rather lightly by our feet rather than brutalized by a heartless machine. The sticky mess was allowed to cold soak for days, not hours, and placed into barrels made of French oak, almost three quarters of which were of new wood, for two months past a year in an successful effort to add to the complexity of the finished wine that is such a delightful alternative to heavy desserts or as an accompaniment to fruit tarts or bread pudding and will age gracefully for a multitude of years. This information on this wine of great value brought to you with apologies to Papa.
