In 1993, Anne and Laurie McAuley planted this vineyard, 7.3 acres north of Cromwell, on a north-facing slope of sandy loam soils. Winemaker Matt Dicey ferments ten percent of the fruit as whole clusters, an addition still youthfully apparent in the wine’s fir-like spice, even as the flavors and tannins feel easily digestible. There’s refinement and elegance to this wine’s power, an earthy grandeur to contrast its tart cherry and greengage-plum flavors, a complexity that brings you back for another taste.
