November 1, 2016 - This wine stood up to a spicy Calabrese Sausage pizza I was enjoying, the acidity matching the spicy sausage bite for sip! Once the pizza was gone, we settled into a nice quiet conversation, Katherine and I. We talked about the old days in Walla Walla (she's a pioneer woman, ya know). All was fine with rose petal and cocoa, and some nice slight green notes. I liked this wine a lot. The '09 should last another couple, maybe even 5 years. Can't wait (but I will) to crack the '11 I have in the wine rack.

Aged 18 months in French oak (35% new). 14.9% alcohol. Sample provided by winery.
