Aromas of white pepper, chocolate, spice, violets, and ripe berries. On the palate, wild berries, pomegranate, and a dusting of tobacco. Smooth, opulent tannins with a lovely finish.
The 2006 growing season was punctuated by extreme weather: flooding during the dormant season did little to sleeping vines, but made national news; a recordsetting heat wave in mid-summer was nerve-wracking but ultimately caused little damage to crops, which were a bit behind in ripening - it may even have helped the vines “catch up.” Seasonal weather returned in August, allowing for some concentrated ripening time through to October.
