Notes from Becky Wasserman Co.:
"Planted in the 1910s and 1980s. Facing east, limestone-clay soil with oolithic limestone pebbles.
100% de-stemmed, 15-20 day ambient yeast fermentation in open wooden vats. Aged for 18 months in barrel (15% new oak). Racked twice. Transferred in April to stainless steel tanks to age for 3 additional months. Bottled in June-July. SO2 additions before fermentation and before bottling."
Jasper Morris:
"A more vigorous purple. Fresher lively fruit on the nose. Not vastly concentrated but with plenty of raspberry fruit through the middle of the palate covering the bone structure nicely, with even a little tension at the finish."
