These lots and barrels are consistently the stand-outs of the vintage, the best vineyard sites and the best tasting barrels within these lots. The intensity and balance of flavors are such that extended sur-lie aging enhances the richness and complexity of these barrels. They will stay undisturbed for an additional two or three months without further batonnage or stirring. This extra time produces a more evolved wine that is also capable of being bottled unfined and unfiltered. This direct blend and bottle strategy means that more richness, flavor and finesse are evident in this wine, which is truly the best of the vintage.
