Wine Maker Notes
By Chris Burroughs
… Sinuous and serpentine, like some ephemeral bellydancer, appearing and then disappearing through mysterious smoke… We were lucky enough to go to Donovan’s recent gig at the Maverick Saloon… The show was absolutely terrific and he was very very groovy. This wine evokes similar feelings: kind of retro-mantic, sunshine, flowers, incense, a hurdy-gurdy Zen poetic Atlantis vibe… would be devastatingly good with wild Scottish salmon (done like that recipe with the leeks and mushrooms; or cedar-planked)… OR, break the gate and do some Cajunstyle fried fish with a mondo tarter sauce and a pile of grits and greens… … dancing, hair flying, arms out-flung, swirling dervishly…
Total Acidity – 6.68g/liter
pH – 3.54
Alcohol – 13.5%
Brix at Harvest – 25.2
Release Date – June 2010
Case Production – 123
