Wine Details
Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
This fruit came from the Red Hill Vineyard. The site is 25 miles east of us, but at 1200’ elevation remains quite cool. The fruit was harvested late on October 19 at 22.5 Brix with 8.1g/L total acids. We chose to barrel ferment this wine at cool temperatures for 1 month. The barrels were mainly older, 10% new, all French. Three yeasts were used to contribute complexity. The wine was allowed to complete malolactic fermentation and the lees were stirred monthly when the wine was topped. This cool climate site, even with complete M/L, has retained well balanced acid. The nose has evident leesy toast with aromas of green apples, pineapple and banana. The flavors are highlighted by bright lemon crème brulee with hints of apricot and vanilla. The wine is round and has good mouthfeel and a lingering aftertaste. This wine would do well with oily grilled swordfish or ahi tuna served with a lemon butter sauce.
