Very ripe Maraschino cherries, wild rasp-berries, chocolate and spice best describe the aromas of this vintage. A very fruit driven wine that exhibits great weight in the mouth, it finishes long and rich. A fresh-baked cherry pie aftertaste is accentuated by the balanced acids in this wine. The extracted tannin will soften with several years of patient cellaring.
—Winemaker Bob Cabral
A hot spell in March followed by a warm spring influenced an unusually early bloom and budbreak. This precocious start, followed by a growing season of moderate temperatures, resulted in a very early harvest. Although we harvested the grapes two to three weeks earlier than normal, the long season provided ample time for the fruit to reach full maturity and develop extraordinary color and intense flavors. A cooling trend in mid-September offered the Chardonnay additional hang time prior to harvest.
