Sourced exclusively from Bootlegger's Hill Vineyard planted to clones 115, 667, and 23 on VSP trellising in the Russian River Valley, this 2018 vintage showcases concentrated fruit from the warm growing season. Fermented with careful whole-cluster inclusion and aged 15 months primarily in French oak, it achieves spherical structure and balance at 14.5% alcohol.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby; aromas of dark cherry, plum, wild strawberry, rose petals, earthy undertones, and sweet spices. Medium-plus bodied palate reveals juicy raspberry, black cherry, cranberry, baking spices, forest floor, velvety tannins, bright refreshing acidity, and beautifully layered complex persistence.
