VINTAGE SUMMARY
A mild, dry-summer with cooler than average summer days created later fruit harvest than is typical in the region. Later picking allowed for slower ripening, with vineyards producing elegant, aromatic fruit.
MATURATION
The wine was aged for 14 months. Predominately American oak barrels with about 20% French oak. Only a small percentage of new oak is used in this blend to ensure the vibrancy of the fruit is retained.
