TASTING NOTES:
Merlot - “We’re going to have to learn French. This Merlot is reminiscent of a St. Emilion. Hits all the notes of cassis, blackberry, crushed stone and pencil that says, ‘I’ve been here before, time to sign up at Rosetta Stone.’” (AbV 14.5%, pH 3.88, TA 5.2 g/L)

Cabernet - “Stoneridge Cabernet. I have to say it again; with every vintage it continues blackberry, fresh herb, tobacco, full-bodied, crushed seashell, gravel and forest floor. All this hangs on and never lets go through the endless finish.“ (AbV 13.5%, pH 3.72, TA 4.6 g/L)

BARRELS:
22 months in 45% new French oak on lees, 21 months in 70% new French oak on lees.
