2019 Stephanie Proprietary Red Wine

Growing Season:
The beginning of the 2019 growing season was defined by copious rainfall and late soil moisture. The long, warm summer saw very few extreme heat events, with foggy mornings setting the stage for vibrant and expressive wines. The long, relatively mild finish to the season, not without its moments of unpredictability, helped to preserve freshness and finesse in the fruit with abundant hang time teasing out great color, structure and soft tannins. Volume is looking to be about average to a little less than average. All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and ample texture promises an amazing vintage.

Tasting Notes:
Packed with a range of steeped black currant, black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors that work together to form a well-built core. Underlying notes of baker's chocolate, alder and sweet tobacco nuances emerge steadily through the finish. Drink now through 2034
