2014 Turnpress “Deep Dark” Red Wine $14.95

()

Winery Tasting Notes:
“In spite of the continuing California drought, grape growing conditions for the 2014 vintage were very good. The vintage provided an abundant and quality driven crop. Good-fortune years like this are a blessing, and the wines show good depth of character.

Grapes were destemmed directly to stainless steel tanks for temperature-controlled fermentation. The must was cold-soaked for two days before inoculation with yeast. The new wine was pressed-off at dryness.

Dark black cherry, brambly blackberry, vanilla, and cocoa aromas. Soft strawberry jam and juicy black fruit flavors combine in the mouth for a complex blend of fruit flavors. Tannins are soft and rounded with a rich, juicy mouthfeel.  The finish is smooth and warm, ending with a lacing of toasty vanilla.”
