All of us were impressed with the flavors of this new wine despite the fact that it only been in the barrels for four months.
The longer ripening and slightly higher Brix has given the wine a slight sweetness and the new yeast makes the flavors well rounded and smooth with sufficient acidity. Our Chehalem Mountain site and Laurelwood soils contributes the fruits flavors and aromas of cherry and blackberries.
Altogether a very gratifying result that we predict will continue to improve to become a smashing success by the time it is bottled.
