Tasting Notes
Vineyard designated releases showcase the uniqueness of our estate vineyards. Seven Hills Vineyard yields a feminine side to our wines, producing finesse and elegance with a long, persistent finish. This polished and complex wine has a perfume of blackberry liqueur, red berries, earth, and mineral. On the palate, this supple wine showcases a lush texture and depth, making it an age-worthy beauty.
The Year
Spring brought us more precipitation than usual, followed by a hot, dry summer. We experienced plenty of warm days without it being overly hot. Since WSU began recording heat units, the 2012 vintage was right on track with a “perfect average.” The wines of this vintage show beautiful characteristics of fruit ripeness while remaining elegant and balanced.
