Wine Description

Normal to cool weather early in the season resulted in natural fruit concentration on the vine and encouraged a long, slow maturation. Toward the end of the season, temperatures stayed cool in Casablanca, allowing for the harvest to occur when the berries were at their ideal level of ripeness.
