hand harvested the grapes-from September 10 to October 4-we ended up with just over one ton per acre. The quality was so high and the flavors so distinctive that we felt this wine deserved to be named for the vineyard-located at the intersection of Clark Avenue and Telephone Roads. The wine has a dark scarlet, opaque color. Its aromas suggest cranberry with spicy notes of peppercorn, cumin and ginger. In the mouth, pepper-spice notes give way to strawberry flavors and firm acidity. The tannins are silky but firm, the texture is mouthcoating. The long, lingering finish combines notes of spicy tobacco and strawberry with sweet, toasty oak and hints of black licorice.
