Dusty Trail '16
Tasting Notes
Spice from the Prim, juice from the Syrah and Barb, and structure from the Petite expresses layers of blackberry, plum and black currant. Earthy herbs and spices grasp the pallet and a robust finish round out this beautiful and bold blend. Decanting for an hour will open up a bouquet of aromas and flavors.
Vineyard Designation
Frenchmen's Creek
Winemaker Notes
This wine has been so popular that we planned for more this vintage. With that said, it is still in short supply. Red blends take on a personality of their own from vintage to vintage but often times are more consistent than their varietal components… greater than the sum of their parts if you will. This is more prevalent in parts of Europe but California is close behind. Each varietal has something to offer with the winemaker in charge of sculpting his masterpiece with his palate.
