On the palate, the balanced acidity shines with notes of caramel- wrapped cherry mingling with earthy notes of cigar box, sandalwood, and French vanilla which balances the fruit and adds to its layered complexity. The round mouth feel with subtle tannin leads to a prolonged peacock-tail finish, reminiscent of Nuits-Saint- George and Vosne-Romanée vineyards. winemaker's insight This wine is crafted in much the same tried-and-true methods each year, such that each vintage truly represents the vineyard as it evolves and changes with minimal intervention. The winemaker does not fine, filter, nor acidulate the wines. Fruit exclusively sourced from the estate vineyard in the breezy, cool Templeton Gap. Fruit is hand harvested, de-stemmed, and pressed. awarDs & DistinCtions Winemaker of the Year–SLO County Wine Industry Persons of the Year Double Gold Medal–San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition 93 Points–International Wine Review.
