Pleasant Valley Vineyards, Inc.

Library Wine - Limited Quantity Available

This is a wine of firm structure that's fruit forward, balanced, fragrant and flavorful. The aroma is intricate with notes of back cherry, plum, flowers, black pepper, cinnamon/nutmeg, and brown spice accented by light cedar, hint of smoke and slight vanilla. It is a wine with a soft "sweet" entry, fine tannin structure and lush texture. It's flavors are predominantly berry, plum, black pepper with a lingering finish of black cherry.

The 2006 growing season was one of our longest on record. The ability to allow the grapes to hang on the vines until the end of October occurs usually less than once a decade. This extended season provided us fruit with exceptionally great and robust flavors
