2015 Trine

2015 Trine

Tasting Notes

Raspberry and brambles are front and center in this Bordeaux style blend, 2015 Trine. Inviting notes of cassis and dried herbs, with hints of pepper and cedar shine through as the bouquet of the wine opens up. On the palate, bright notes of cherry and raspberry play alongside black tea and licorice. A lively tannic structure leads the way for a long, brooding finish.

The Year

The 2015 growing season is the latest in a trend of being the warmest on record for our valley. Bud break occurred at the end of March, which is about a week earlier than usual. High temperatures peaked at the end of June and were steady throughout the course of the summer. A cooling trend arrived as the grapes began to go through veraison, allowing them to ripen perfectly. For the first time ever, harvest began in August and was followed by optimal weather patterns for the remainder of the year.
