Nysa, Who Shakes the World
TASTING NOTES:
’05 - “…a nose of cherry mixed with cedar and sage. The creamy tannins produce a rich mouth feel accentuated by cherry and raspberry. The finish begins with penetrating fruit flavors grabbing your attention and then trails off with spice and sufficient acidity to compliment salmon, lamb, or beef Bourgogne—and allows extended cellaring for secondary characteristics to emerge.” (AbV 13.9%, pH 3.39, TA 0.62 g/100mL)
’06 - “…a nose of cherry mixed with chocolate. The creamy tannins produce a rich mouth feel accentuated by cherry and plum. The finish begins with supple fruit flavors and then trails off with a hint of black tea and sufficient acidity to compliment lamb, or beef Bourgogne.“ (AbV 14.9%, pH 3.6, TA 0.61 g/100mL)
’07 - “…a nose of red raspberry mixed with dried violets. The lush tannins produce a silky smooth medium bodied wine. The finish begins with the predominant raspberry flavor leading into an elegant complex of flowers and spice framed by a balanced acidity.” (AbV 13.6%, pH 3.55, TA 0.53 g/100mL)
’08 - “…a nose of blueberry mixed with a hint of orange peel. This deep rich full-bodied wine shows dark fruit components of blackberry and boysenberry. The finish begins with plum fruit flavors and a secondary citrus complex supported by moderate acidity.” (AbV 13.8%, pH 3.4, TA 0.6 g/100mL)
’09 - “The 2009 is very balanced in alcohol and acidity levels. Dark cherry is the predominant fruit flavor with tertiary flavors of forest floor in the finish.“ (AbV 14%, pH 3.6, TA 0.5 g/100mL)
’10 - “We had a late harvest under clear skies bringing us beautifully ripe fruit with lower sugars and high natural acids. The low yields and fine harvest weather resulted in elegant tannins, fantastic length and great concentration of bright red toned flavors. These wines will live on for years marking 2010 as a classic cool weather vintage.“ (AbV 13.1%, pH 3.45, TA 0.56 g/100mL)
