Winemakers Notes:
“This is a classic Blood Creek 8 from a long, dry and warm growing season. The wine shows trademark richness, depth, complexity and balance with a marked restraint and elegance as a result of extremely gentle handling and cooler fermentations. Drink 2023-2035+ Under correct cellaring.”
