winemaker's notes:
In 2006, grapes received quite a bit of hang time to develop a lush and hedonistic flavor profile. By the time the right flavors developed in the grapes, the potential alcohols had risen to high octane levels! At Raptor Ridge, we eschew watering and acidifying our wines, so please enjoy this once-in-a-decade vintage — 2006.
"Soft, ripe and appealing for its cherry and red berry flavors as they roll unimpeded over fine tannins and hang around on the finish,
where they suggest prosciutto and spice. Drink now through 2014."
