| Residual Sugar: | 0.0006 |
| Alcohol %: | 15.6 |
| Tasting Notes: | Aromas of ripe fruit (candied Mission fig, Medjool date, Satsuma plum), forest floor, soil, light smoke and vanilla. Flavors of plum, prune, fig, blueberry, ripe blackberry and toasted French oak barrels. |
| Ratings: | 93 Points - Bright, rich and fleshy, with a supple mix of wild berry, raspberry and floral scents. Tight but not tannic, focused and concentrated, picking up a pleasant earthy, chicory edge. Drink now through 2013. (Wine Spectator - June 3, 2009) |
| Vineyard Notes: | The Horseshoe Bend vineyard is placed – gloriously – on a southeast-facing slope in the hills located between Occidental and Freestone in the Russian River Valley Appellation. When I first walked into this vineyard I thought to myself, “If the beauty of a vineyard, and its surroundings, can be captured in a wine, the wine from this vineyard will be remarkable.” |
