The 2005 vintage produced a modest crop of fruit with intense flavors and firm structure. Fragrant aromas of cherries and spice lead to lush fruit flavors of cherry and blackberry. This fusion of fruit, a touch of oak, and ripe tannins will develop more complexity with further aging. Enjoy with Duck Confit, Cassoulet, hearty stews.
