Ripe, fruit forward aromas of red berries and vanilla are accented with a complex tobacco and herbal spice from an integrated 33% new oak barrel élevage. The palate’s smooth entry shows darker fruits of blackberry and blueberry along with strawberry preserves and pie crust. The warm 2017 growing season provided mature tannins and balanced structure while a cool harvest contributed medium body and juicy acidity. Balanced tannin and acid carries the medium long finish, highlighting the exceptional quality of this single vineyard bottling.
