Wine Details
Price:
$18.99 per bottle
Description:
Fruit from Primativo and Mendocino Ridge clones harvested from the spectacular High Valley vineyards of Monte Lago and Terre Vermeil (2200–2400’ above sea level), provided the basis for this wine. The 2002 growing season produced low crop yields that contributed to the deep garnet color and added intensity and complexity to the wines. Individual lots were fermented separately in small stainless steel tanks for 7–10 days before pressing to preserve the fruit intensity and minimize excessive tannin extraction.
Tasting notes: Full aromas of ripe black raspberries are accented with hints of peppercorn and bay laurel. The palate shows a spiciness and toasty oak with soft tannins and medium body.
