March 12, 2012 - Creamy, and oxydized and very rich on the palate, wonderful, but also very unqiue in its own way. On day two.

March 11, 2012 - Waterford Staff Party 2.0 (Waterford Wine Co., Milwaukee): Orange circus peanut, banana, lemon custard. I've been trying, but the 09 has my heart over the 08. This wine was just in the wrong company today.

April 9, 2011 - first vintage of this wine. Woodruff Vineyard. red apple skin, brown lees, something honied in the nose. the texture of honey comb. a fresh brown aspect. high acid and a creamy nature to the nose. Davis Clone 4. dry farmed, whole cluster pressed into barrel. partial ML, 18 months in barrel without very much topping up. Once in 08, twice in 09. Sulfur at bottling. '08 1/3 new oak, '09 no new oak.
