2009 Corison Kronos Vineyard

A third year of drought kept the crop size down in 2009. Mild, relatively cool weather during the growing season was followed by a moderate September and cold October, making for an uncommonly long ripening season. Resulting flavors are wildly complex with juicy fruit flavors ranging from black cherries and plums all the way to black currants and blackberries. This wine is very concentrated but is light on its feet at the same time. Baking spice and chocolate notes complement a floral perfume of violets, lavender and rose petals in the aromas. Signature Kronos Vineyard minerality wraps the package.
