Early budburst, record July heat, adequate winter and spring rainfall, and a small August rain event accelerated ripening, bringing an early harvest and unusually high sugar levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWinemaker Description\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Description\u003c\/strong\u003e | Deep ruby core with vivid ruby rim. The nose is very fine and multi-layered, with rich strawberry jam aromas, herbal notes, and fresh scents of cedarwood. There is also a discrete dimension, a luxurious redolence of leather and mocha coffee. In contrast, and in keeping with the Taylor house style, the palate has an attractive edge of austerity with taut tannins providing a firm grip to the long finish which delivers a surge of rich berry fruit flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent with fully flavored cheeses, especially blue cheeses.
