What a year.

Enduring a winter of snow, ice, freezing rain, wind, hail, and single digit temperatures, these young vines grew forth with vigor under the spring sun. The year brought abundance of all kinds - chiefly, the precious rain. The vines thrived. Fruit & shoots were thinned by the vineyard shears. Canopies were hedged by the workman's machete - and still the vines flourished and filled the harvest bins to the top. Aged in French oak barrels for 15 months, this wine exhibits aromas of red berry and smoky caramel. It is medium bodied, with a subtle complexity of earthy tannins on the palate, and a smooth finish.
