This wine has received 90 points or higher from leading wine publications for twenty vintages. To protect flavor intensity, grapes were harvested at night when the vineyard temperatures were coldest. Berries went direct to press, avoiding the possible loss of freshness caused by a crusher / destemmer. A cool fermentation for 3 weeks with fruit-driven yeasts created a seamless integration of fruit, sugar and acid to heighten fruit flavors.
