This wine is quite a nice one, considering it’s taken from 2 year old vines (planted in 2005), seemingly a little young to be harvesting but when you’re a new winery you have to make do with what you got. Winemaker Shauna White seems to have coaxed a real winner out of these young vined grapes. There’s nice spice, blackberry, cinnamon, black cherry, tobacco and a smooth peppery finish. The wine was aged 10 months in a heavy French oak (90%) mix with some American barrels (10%) … opened long enough the wine takes on some of that oakyness; drinking potential for maximum enjoyment is rather short 2-3 years (2012-2014).
