This inaugural vintage yielded only 1,197 bottles of this very special wine - a four barrel blend of wines from three ultra-premium Anderson Valley vineyards. Aged 10 months in French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered on August 2nd 2007. Additionally, 6 months of bottle aging is allowed prior to release on February 2nd, 2008.
Aromas of cherry, strawberry, rose and violet with classic Anderson Valley earthiness. Bright cherry and berry fruit initially gives way to complex flavors of cola nut, moss and spice. The balanced acidity and seamlessly integrated tannins carry through to the long smooth finish. Will open up and gain complexity with additional cellaring.
