Winemaker Chuck Ortman Notes
The vivid burgundy color is slightly darker than 2006, thanks to an almost textbook perfect harvest in 2007. The wine is commanding and ripe but not over extracted. Sumptuous favors of strawberries and cherries coat the tongue, but the
finish still holds our signature smoke and clove; it perfectly complements grilled cornmeal crusted quail or roasted chicken- Julia style!
