Production Details Fruit was harvested at night to arrive at approximately 50–60°F and allowed to warm naturally for a gentle start to native-yeast fermentation.

Regional bottlings received approximately the same 20–25% new-wood proportion as the vineyard-designated wines and were usually bottled after about 11 months. Production was reported as 496 cases.
Tasting Notes Red flowers, hibiscus, red apple, pomegranate, graphite and herbal tones; light and fresh on its feet, complete, harmonious and already approachable.
