About the Wine

Many have been avidly anticipating the arrival of this wine after a two year absence. I know you won't be frustrated. Mid-vintage downpours have slightly diminished the color and assemblage of this wine compared with some past vintages, however it remains a typical "Georgia's". Brilliant red in color; exceptional bunch of flavors and ripe berries, coordinated with the sweet velvety vanilla of American oak; mouth-filling kind of flavors with awesome complexity, trailed by a long complete with great corrosive parity.Profound medium color. Created natural, mocha fragrances with some red cherry, sage notes. New medium concentrated wine with hearty, red cherry flavors and fine smooth dry tannins. Acidity blows out at the completion. Fruit is blurring. Drink now. Hot summer however mid-vintage downpours.
