Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

From the winery: "The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Melrose Vineyard near Roseburg. The grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented in temperature controlled tanks for one month at 58 degrees. At 3 degrees brix the wine was transferred to a combination of neutral oak barrels and new Hungarian puncheons. The wine was aged in oak for four months before being racked, fined and filtered before bottling. The wine was sterile filtered to prevent the malolactic fermentation from occurring, thus preserving a bright green apple component. The oak aging has given the wine a pleasing toast and creaminess to compliment the fruit.
