The Vineyard was planted in"68, a drought year requiring each vine to be hand watered by the family from drums on the back of a tractor, an investment in blood, sweat and tears. Elegant. Exceptional depth. Dark berries, spices, toasty oak.

Floral, blackcurrant, slight truffle notes, oak much better than those that came before all cinnamon spice and vanilla cream. Intense dark fruit, smooth, creamy tannin, liquorice tinged finish. More sophistication. Super long. Really good.
