2007 Vintage Conditions

The 2007 season was similar to the 2006 vintage with a lack of moisture a feature. With the continuation of drought conditions into 2007 irrigation was heavily used due to a lack of moisture in the soil profile at the beginning of the season. Yields were reduced to help the vines through the dry year with fruit quality exceptional.

Winemaking Notes

The premise to this wine is to compliment the concentration of the Cabernet and it’s structure with some fragrance and forward fruit richness of the merlot. This creates a complete wine with softness and density.
