WINEMAKER NOTES:   

This is the most powerful and dense wine yielded from

these two vineyards to date. The vines are through their

initial development at 7 years and are settling in to produce

their best fruit over the next decade.

Rich aromas of cinnamon, cocoa, and spice emanate from

its time spent in barrel. Upon tasting, the black cherry, cola

and blackberry flavors come through leading to a creamy

yet full bodied finish.

Patience will reward the imbiber and I recommend cellaring

for a minimum of one year
