Production Details Fruit was sourced from Los Alamos Vineyard, with the winemaker text highlighting Block 9 and clones 2A and 828. Fermentation took place in 5-ton open-top fermenters with punch-downs twice daily. The wine fermented to complete dryness, was then pressed and transferred to barrel with moderate lees, and matured for 20 months on lees in 100% new François Frères French-oak barrels. The sheet reports “Acidity: 5.6 g/L” without specifying the analytical acid basis and prints residual sugar as “<0”; these observations are retained as printed rather than converted into unqualified canonical analytical values.
Tasting Notes Strawberry jam, baking spice and black pepper aromas; full-bodied and structured, with sandalwood, dried earth and cherry punch.
