Consistency of quality and vineyard character are its hallmarks. A dry winter with a moderate spring and summer ripened the grapes evenly. Showing plentiful fruit, elegant tannins and bright acidity, this fine wine will develop fully over the next fourteen years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTasting Notes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDeep ruby in color with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, baking spices, toasted oak, and lavender.
