Hot summer weather is typical of this part of northern Sonoma County; the grapes ripened quickly, leading to an early-September harvest . As usual, we picked and fermented the five vineyard parcels separately. After a natural-yeast fermentation, we tasted the individual lots, selecting two blocks-House and Top-for this year's Advance Tasting Program wine. Because of 2007's low yields, this is an unusually rich and concentrated carignane. It aged for twelve months in air-dried american oak (10% new, 20% one and two years old, 70% three and four years old). Delightful now, this exceptional carignane will continue to develop over the next four or five years. JO (8/08)
