The 2012 is quite pale at the present time, with brilliant green highlights. The nose is well-defined and mineral. Still very young and quite elegant, this wine has yet to reveal its full complexity. However, its class already comes through in the mineral and floral aromas released when the wine is swirled in the glass.

The VIA is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 10% Malbec and 5% Petite Verdot. This wine is red/purple in color and is Characterized with aromas of dark forest fruit along with smokey aromas of coffee, and tobacco. It is a full bodied wine which is rich in flavors, has a nice, pleasurable, long elegant finish.

Grenache (Garnacha) "Gambrels of the Sky" comes from an Emily Dickinson poem entitled “I dwell in Possibility,” and though this feels a little lofty, it seemed appropriate for a wine dedicated to my remarkable grandmother, Frances Howard Peterson. Not only did she love poetry, she also loved cooking, science, and wine.
