Description:
Produced from our five acre vineyard, these grapes are organically grown and picked by hand. At 1400 feet elevation and five miles from the Ocean east of Fort Ross, the vineyard avoids most of the summer fog. The climate of the coastal range, in conjunction with our farming practices, helps to produce intense, flavorful grapes.
Harvested on October 19 at 26.3° brix, the 2003 fruit was ripe and beautiful. We brought in approximately six tons. The grapes were put through the destemmer into several small fermentation tanks and Bordeaux yeast was added immediately. On November 3, after 15 days, the must was pressed and the wine put into American oak barrels for 18 months.
This full-bodied, rich, fruit driven wine has great balance. It is concentrated and jammy - with black cherry, cassis, and a smooth lingering finish.
