Our 2006 vintage exudes a bigger and more outspoken nature than our '05 did, while still retaining the elegance, balance and velvety mouth-feel that are the signature characteristics of the fruit from our estate vineyard. The 2006 was a wild one at harvest, coming out the gate a little earlier and at a slightly higher harvest brix than years past; and that quality is readily apparent right off the bat with aromatic notes of black cherry, plum and rich raspberry. On the palate, the soft supple tannins and spicy backbone fill the mouth, all the while revealing an artfully oaked, fruit-forward wine.
This blend of 667, 777, and Pommard clones from our estate vineyard, is the most interestingly layered and complex wine we've made so far. As always, our fruit is given special care and attention. Hand-harvested at dawn and meticulously sorted, to ensure only the highest quality. Gravity-fed into our de-stemmer, and then rolled into our winery to undergo a 6 day whole-berry cold maceration prior to fermentation. After fermentation, the wine was aged for 18 months in the finest French oak cooperage. No pumping, fining or filtration has been applied.
We are offering this wine at $48/bottle in packages of 3, 6 or 12. Those who purchase 12 bottles will receive an invitation to our annual winery event at our estate vineyard property.
