2005 Three Vineyards
Tasting notes
Dark color. Dark, concentrated fruit: blackberry, plum and cassis with hints of raspberry and black cherry. The fruit is seamlessly integrated with the oak aromas of toast, cinnamon/clove spice, licorice, caramel and smoke. A beautiful and complex combination of aromas, inviting one to come back again and again for another sniff. Dark fruit flavors, medium-plus body, wonderfully spicy, smoky oak notes with plenty of structure without being gripping and nice acid make this a wine that is pleasant to drink.
Grapes are from our estate vineyards: Hedges, Bel’ Villa and Red Mountain. This wine is 100% barrel aged for an average of 15 months in 40% new oak consisting of 60% American, 35% French and 5 % European.
Harvest Notes: 2005 was a banner year in the vineyards. Mostly even temperatures and little wind and rain during bloom made for nice set. The summer was hot, but not too hot, and typical fall ripening conditions of warm days (80-85) and cool nights (45-50) began in mid-September and continued through October. Our philosophy of picking at optimum flavor maturity made us pick warmer site fruit as early as the third week of September and cooler site fruit the last week of October. Another great vintage from Red Mountain.
