As the day is long…a never ending finish of spices, fresh tobacco, cured meats, and stone. So smooth, so fine. —Charles Smith
Vineyards: Sundance: This vineyard has a slight northerly slope which in turn provides a cooler site in a very warm growing region. Soils consist of 18 inches of sandy loam over a deep layer of coarse dark gray sand—providing good soil drainage. This vineyard is only 2 miles from Pheasant Vineyard, but with such different soils, produces a completely different wine profile. Timmerman loamy sand over sand over coarse sand. Planted in 1997. Pheasant: Known for large areas of well-drained, sandy gravelly soils deposited by ancient glacial floods. Quincy loamy fine sand - sandy loam over sand. Both Sundance and Pheasant Vineyards are owned and sustainably farmed by brothers Butch and Jerry Milbrandt. Planted in 2000.
"Deep red. Red fruits, flowers and a whiff of exotic orange peel on the nose. Juicy, bright and floral, with lovely lift but also some complementary meaty low tones. Nicely sweet syrah with a light touch and fine-grained tannins. From sandy soil, picked in late October, and vinified with 30% whole clusters."
