"Blackcherries, plums and black pepper aromas are sandwiched in a waferof mint chocolate. Racy berry flavors are cloaked in a creamyvanillin that provides a sweet texture to the abundant fruit. Thedark fruit and mint flavors linger on the finish."
- Mike McGrath, Winemaker

VINEYARDS:
Dry winter led to an early bud break, and a warm rain free spring.Warm temperatures in mid-August hastened ripening temporarily. Anunusually cool September and early October slowed maturation sothat our Bordeaux varietals ripened steadily and slowly. Theaffects of the 2007 climate were balanced ripeness, natural acidityand mature, developed tannins.

"Grapefruit,lime, and honeysuckle aromas warm to nectarine and acacia floralscents. The refreshing aromatic characters are consistent withclean, zesty flavors. Bright and lively grapefruit re-emerges witha flinty, Pippin green apple flavor. A lingering finish of apricotswith a hint of minerality keeps this focused wine youthful andintriguing."
