There's great potential for this grape in the Rogue Valley. Here it was fermented with native yeast, spent 16 days on the skins, and was finished in 20% new American oak. The palate combines juicy blackberry flavors with toasty flavors of hazelnuts. Tannins are moderate but proportionate, and with another year or two of bottle age this wine should be in peak drinking condition.
