Winemaker Chuck Ortman Notes
2007 may have gotten the hype, but for us, 2008 stands out as a truly perfect vintage. Cooperative weather led to a long hang time, allowing our grapes to develop concentrated and complex flavors. Strawberries, raspberries, and cherries jump on the palate with just a hint of our signature spice and clove.
