Alcohol: 11.5%

Bright transparent cherry red color. Barrel toast, vanilla, cigar box, pot pourri, tree bark. Some strawberries and raspberries showing, with black tea and cedar plank on the palate. Also a pleasant humus wet earth note. This wine is very reminiscent of the 2007 vintage wines that showed a light touch when young yet managed to gain considerable weight after a few years in bottle.

Unfined & unfiltered.

Visiting Lucy and Tom is always a refreshing experience. They take utmost care of their vineyard, deliberating course of action with equal parts education and experience, and they have been tending the same vines for over thirty years. The evidence of their work and care is clear – not only in the appearance of the vineyard but the quality of fruit they produce and subsequently the wines.
