Description
Grown in Block 5B of our Rutherford vineyard, planted in 2013. It is a young block and is delivering great promise. The bilateral cordon is supported on a leaning ballerina trellis, where the afternoon sun side of the canopy can be dropped lower to protect the fruit from hot afternoon temperatures. The vines are leafed very soon after set so that the fruit is exposed to the sun early and can develop deep color and mature tannins and flavors. Aged for 22 months in new French oak barrels.
