2006 Corison Kronos Vineyard

Budbreak came very late in 2006 due to cold, rainy weather that continued well into spring. By early June, the sun finally came out and the vines began to bloom and set fruit. Even, cool weather from August through a very late harvest for a nearly perfect ripening season. Layered aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, plum compote, cassis and cedar are made even more complex by chocolate, nutmeg, and peppermint notes. The juicy fruit aromas follow through in the flavors. The texture is velvet. Classic.
