Bottlenotes Team NoteJune 18, 2010

Candied apple on the nose, blackberry and dark chocolate, likely fermented in partial new-oak. A pleasant Merlot/Cab blend.

Correct on partial new-oak.

Plan is to keep tannins
smooth by using 30% new French oak each year, use the
same barrels and sell the 3 year old barrels. Some
variation by vintage and current effects.

Fruit comes through on the nose. Get a bit of spice on the taste.

Bottlenotes Team NoteJune 18, 2010

Pomegranite on the nose with a slight herbaceousness and candied strawberries. More ripe ripe strawberries on the palate. Easily pairable with lots of summer BBQ.
