Displaying bright fruit flavors of raspberry and blueberry that commingle with notes of chocolate and tobacco. The wines velvety tannins & integrated oak provide for a long, smooth finish.
Bud-break this year started mid-April for most Oregon vineyards, a mere 5-10 days behind 1998’s schedule. Yet, the cold, dry month of May slowed the physiological growing process and therefore, flowering didn’t occur until read more...the first week of July.
