2016 Julia's Red Wine
Winemaker’s Notes: 2016 was another excellent growing season for the Langman Estate Winery area of the Sierra Foothills in California. It was a very long, dry summer with excellent diurnal temperature changes that allowed the fruit to mature very evenly over the 7+ month growing season that extended harvest into October. This is a vintage of special, very rich wines.
The Wine: Blackberry, pancake and cherry bouquet. This a rich and well balanced medium bodied wine with a long finishing palate of blueberry, caramel, chocolate covered cherry and boysenberry. Toast!
