Winemaker's notes

Harvested on Oct 17th, with excellent balance, the grapes were crushed and placed in open top fermenters for cold-soak and fermentation. After fermentation was complete, the wine was aged in 92% French oak cooperage for 19 months, fined, gently filtered and bottled. This vintage is easy drinking and fruit-forward, drink now until 2010.
