Description:
A great follow up to our 2001 this wine is as smooth and terrific as expected. This mature 8 year old vineyard in Santa Ynez is managed by our own vineyard manager so we receive the finest quality grapes each year we purchase them. The vineyard is located in the eastern Santa Ynez Valley at Great Oaks Ranch where hot temperatures during the day bring on very intense flavors in the grapes. The wine is young and bold with fresh blackberries, hints of cassis, with raspberries sneaking into the toasty oak and vanilla from several months of aging in French oak barrels. Tannins are a bit tighter on this one but not harsh. This wine is for the bold at heart as the extraction on it is intense purple and incredibly deep in flavor. You can barely see through this wine it is so dark! Yet with all it’s bold tendencies it is smooth and will soften even more as the year goes by. Best with BBQ, Venison, steaks, Cajun, Italian Sausages, Veggie Lasagna, Pizza, and Mexican menus. Especially great with slightly sweet Danish or Bittersweet Belgian chocolate.
