winemaker's notes:

Number 8 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2007!

"A stunning wine of immense depth and integrity. Seamless from start to finish, this starts off strong and keeps building through the long, powerful finish. The flavors center on blueberry, plum, meaty cherry, cedar and cream, with a hint of mint, and the tannins are so finely polished they gleam. Drink now through 2020."

I would buy this wine again

Talk about an explosion of fruit in the mouth. I bought out every bottle I could find in the area.

A Customer - New Jersey
Had this at a restaurant recently and liked it a lot. Very heavy fruit with a fantastic finish for a young wine. This should age nicely over the long haul but is very drinkable now.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
