Tasting Notes
Savory elements take center stage in this complex offering of Dijon clones from the Hallberg ranch. Layers upon layers of dried mushrooms, tobacco leaf, forest floor, eucalyptus, and fresh dill abound. Exotic black teas, cola, and cedar are supported by waves of dark cherry, blackberry preserves and Marion berry pie. Rich and seductive upon entry, the intensity and perfect balance of flavors from the mid-palate to the finish leave an unforgettable impression upon the senses.
Vineyard Notes
The 100-acre Hallberg Vineyard is nestled in the Green Valley sub-region of the Russian River Valley, and enjoys refreshing daytime breezes and cool nighttime temperatures. The Dijon clones selected for this blend come from three different blocks flanking the east and west sides of the Hallberg ranch. The 777 and 677 clones on the west side of the ranch contribute structure, spice and earthiness, while the 777 from the east side tends to offer dense, dark fruit flavors and lovely floral aromatics.
