A Russian River profile is evident in this wine, which leads with aromas and flavors of bright red fruits such as raspberry, strawberry and Bing cherry laced with a touch of cherry compote. Allspice and clove join some vanilla and caramel oak notes, leading to a full, plush mouthfeel and silky tannins. Balanced acidity and minerality linger in a memorable, lasting finish.

A near perfect season, welcomed after several tense vintages, began with abundant February rains followed by drying sun and weather that allowed for even flowering and bud break. The slightly later start was followed by consistently ideal weather. It turned a bit cool in August, mild in September, allowing fruit to evolve. Patience and careful attention to the vineyard was rewarded with fruit of excellent ripeness, well balanced tannins and complexity. Generally, normal to heavier fruit clusters were evident on the vine with great flavor intensity. On average, pick dates were two weeks later than normal.
