The 2007 began with a complex
bouquet of ultra ripe peach, lemongrass,
pineapple, honey and spice. This vintage saw
just under 20 months of oak aging in barrels
of a variety of ages, forests and cooperages.
Now, nearly two decades later, these fresh fruit
flavors have matured to showcase dried
tropical fruit, grilled lemon, sage and
toasted oats. Despite it’s age, a surprisingly
amount of vibrant acidity keeps this wine
crisp with a long, lingering finish.
2007 will be recorded by most as excellent though it is important to remember that not all grape varieties benefit from a hot, long, growing season. Bud-Break was frost-free and flowering occurred under ideal calm. The summer and fall were seasonably warm and dry allowing for clean fruit and above average ripeness levels.
