Producer tasting notes: "Dense, dark purple-red color with intense aromas of sweet, ripe blackberry, fig and toasted brown spices. A fleshy, mediumbodied wine with notes of blackcurrant, rhubarb, cranberry, black cherries, dark chocolate and subtle oak vanilla characters. The finish is lingering and full, with a wonderful balance of persistent berry flavors and bright acidity." - Caymus Vineyards

- Vintage Notes

2010 was a challenging harvest; cool weather conditions throughout spring and summer, followed by an early onset of winter rains resulted in a cooler growing season than usual. We sourced our fruit for this wine from the valley floor where there was sufficient heat to produce elegant, bright fruit characters, with just the right amount of acidity to give us the balance we strive for.

- Winemaking
-
We blend in a small amount of Petit Sirah, a traditional approach that a lot of California winemakers use as the varietal has such similar fruit characteristics to Zinfandel, yet offers even richer tannins to give the wine more structure.

- Ageing
-
The wine spent 17 months in a combination of French and American oak, 75% new and 25% seasoned barrels.

2010 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2013
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarter Wasserrand. Nuancen von Schlehenbeeren, mit reifen Zwetschgen unterlegt, ein Hauch von Lakritze und Orangenzesten. Saftig, elegante Extraktsüße, seidige Textur, süße Kirschenfrucht, feinwürzig unterlegt, zart nach Nougat im Finish, ein sympathischer Riese.
