The old vines were brought over from Italy on potatoes and are over 100 years old, 2000acres. 200 sheep prune and fertilize the land. Built on geysers and hot springs. Family were engineers, made original jacuzzi tub out of a horse trough
Ancient vines zin: kitchen spice
Bridgehead: more fruity, still spicy/vanilla
Live oak: bold, tannic, black currant
Heritageb Thick, blend of first 3
Cashmere: good dinner party wine, lighter and easier drinking but still nice peppery and tannins with fruity nose
MC tasted the chardonnay, viogner, mourvedre, Estate syrah. The estate syrah was really good, smooth tannins a little black pepper, and dark berry. The chardonnay had a beautiful nose to it.
We enjoyed a nice picnic next to the jacuzzi pond.
