Winemaker Notes
Hand harvested and sorted fruit from the 9 year old vines of
Dickinson Vineyard. A record-setting summer resulted in intensely ripe fruit. The 8 day cold soak and controlled fermentation were followed by extended maceration - 25 days on skins, malolactic fermentation in oak and a total of 16 months barrel maturation in new (25%) and older French oak.
