Lots of rain in spring delayed the growing season, so it was hard to get beautifully mature tannins, says Cakebread. The cooler than average season also gave berries with thick skins, which necessitated such a high percentage of new oak. 'The tannins have softened now, but I didn't always have that feeling about it,' she says. Notes of autumnal leaves, spiced leather and a background of chocolatey ripe black fruits. It's polished and pure with fine length, freshness and integration. 19 months in 81% new French oak, bottled unfiltered in July 2011. 407 cases produced.
