Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 25, 2010 - Nice nose and very rich, sweet, candied palate upon opening. Settled down after about an hour. Probably should drink remaining ones over next few years.

Winemaker's notes: " This wine unfortunately represents our last bottling from the renowned Seven Springs vines. As has been the case from our first ever wine from the site, in 1986, the fruit stems from the older, own-rooted Pommard planting in the SE corner of the vineyard. Considering the extremely ripe nature of the vintage, we were pleased to achieve a wine with intense varietal character and complex earthy tones to balance with its concentrated dark plummy fruit and luscious texture. Although fairly soft on the pallate, underlying tannins should allow for good aging over a 8-10 year period. Harvested @ 25.2º Brix. on Sept. 29, Alc. 14.9%. It was aged for 18 months in Francois Freres Nevers and Tronçais barrels (25% new). 197 cases were bottled without fining or filtration on May13, 2008."
