The vineyard lies in the Occidental area, a cool part of the southern valley that's vintage-sensitive. The cold 2010 year has resulted in brisk, citrusy acidity that brightens persimmon, cherry and raspberry fruit flavors that are liberally oaked. Hard to say if the wine is a long-term ager, but it's fine now and will be until 2019.
