Winemaker's notes: Hand picked at the end of an exceptionally late vintage in California. 85% destemmed, with 15% left wholecluster and layered on top. Wholecluster fermentations brighten the ripe, juicy fruit, and impart fine, silky tannins to the round, full mouthfeel. Aged 15 months in neutral French oak barrels.
