Aromas of raspberries and pepper and flavors that then include blackberries, pepper and chocolate with fairly strong tannins that ties all the flavors together in the finish

Jul 17th, 2016This wine exudes the terroir of the mountain slope south of Lake Hennessey. The cool breeze coming off the water, the 100+ year old olive trees and pomegranate trees that surround the vineyard are all there in the nose. The palate shows silky smooth inky dark fruit, but without the overly tannic bite of a cab, and a funky earthiness reminiscent of a pinot. Delicious, complex wine.

2010 continues to improve with age. Great memory from when I first tried this at the vineyard with Eric.

Blackberry. Very drinkable but nothing that makes it reflective of the terroir.
