From the original estate planted in 1844. This is one step away from Grange, which has used these grapes for many years. This was a mistake. WAY,WAY too young. Lots of stuff that needs time to evolve. The brite cherry fruit is still tart and the spices are muddled without defination. Should come into its' own in the next 7-10 years. A sleeping giant. WW
