Aromas of crushed violets, rosemary, and graphite on the nose. On the palate these develop into flavors of concentrated currant and blueberry that show a structure capable of aging.

Winemaker Notes
2018 began with a cool spring and good rainfall. Moderate summer
temperatures brought slow ripening and an extended warm fall meant later flavor development and overall balance. We saw ripe tannins with beautiful color and flavor depth while keeping good structural acidity.
