Dec 5th, 2022Tar, brambley dark fruits, and desert rose. Really a beautiful nose. Very silky mouthfeel. This was aged for 18 months on lees. No hint if the new French oak either! This is a real delight and I want to share the next 2008 (and a 2007) with friends.

Nice American oak (hence the name Keystone) and rich full experience from start to finish. Deep dark fruits on the nose and a long finish. Alta Colina really does this right.

Co-ferment with 3%Viognier. This has the animal nose with fresh new world notes. 15.3 alc is a little much.
