Rich aromas of dark chocolate and cigar give way to layered flavors of currant, plum and coffee. The wine has a firm mid-palate, soft tannins. Like the structure of a deep bass with the timelessness of a good melody. EARTH: Rocky soils produce grapes with round, soft, almost sweet tannins, which are exactly what we had in mind for the Three Blocks. The low fertility soils of Sonoma Valley have excellent drainage, meaning strong roots must develop in order to find water. Vines with deep root penetration are also best able to capture the distinctiveness of the growing site. Grapes for Three Blocks are predominately grown using Biodynamic® methods. <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">MAN: By our estimate we handle each vine at least 15 times before harvest. We see each opportunity - pruning, thinning, green dropping under-ripe clusters - as a way to check in with the vine and proactively anticipate its needs. We havested at night to protect the integrity of the fruit. Native yeast fermentation and French oak barrel aging added nuance and complexity. </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">NATURE: Tucked in the eastern foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains in the heart of Sonoma Valley, the Cabernet and Merlot selected for Three Blocks are grown in vineyard blocks positioned for optimum sun exposure, so the grapes ripen evenly. Tall tree lines surround the vineyard, protecting the sites from the sometimes fierce Sonoma Valley winds. </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">To learn more about the Signaterra brand, please visit us at : <a aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" href="http://www.signaterra.com/">www.signaterra.com</a> </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> </div> <LI>SKU: 380006 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/benziger/Category57" TITLE="Signaterra Benziger">Signaterra Benziger</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/benziger/Product873 TITLE="2008 Benziger 'Casey's Block' Sauvignon Blanc, Mendocino County (750ml)">2008 Benziger 'Casey's Block' Sauvignon Blanc, Mendocino County (750ml)</A> -- In 2008, floral aromas introduce the wine while; the crisp structure is poised against flavors of green apple, white peach, grapefruit and lime.
