This single-block wine went out of production in 2005, but we brought it back in 2018. In some ways there’s a precariousness to the creek-side site, but it’s and evocative spot with history and the capacity to grow a sensational wine with character. We’ve re-trellised the vines to better control the canopy and achieve finer balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep Magenta with aromas of super ripe, macerated dark and red plum, boysenberry, mulberry and dark cherry fruits.
