Winemaker Comments:
Somers Ranch provides us with grapes that ultimately produce some of our finest wines, year in and year out. In this vintage, we achieved excellent depth and concentration. The aromas lean toward black cherries and chocolate with an underlying mix of currant and pepper. On the palate, this wine comes together beautifully with excellent length and texture. The fruit builds layer upon layer of flavor framed by tannins that are firm but silky. The finish is long and lingering, providing a mouthwatering backdrop that demands another sip. This is a delicious wine from a stellar Dry Creek Valley vineyard.
