Tasting Notes
The 2002 Agraria’s solid structure reveals layers of rich flavors,
plush tannins and firm acids. The tantalizing aromas mirror the
seductive flavors that follow—juicy cherry, black currants, cedar,
hints of roasted coffee and tobacco—with the mineral essence found
in Bradford Mountain fruit rounding it all out. The mouthfilling
flavors flow into a lush, spicy finish. With its mountain origins,
this blend will benefit from an additional five to 10 years in the
bottle.
Vineyard
Bradford Mountain Estate Vineyard, on the western edge of Dry Creek
Valley, is 32 acres on the very top of the mountain (elevation 1000
feet) planted in the 1980s. Great pains were taken to search for
the proper varietals and clones to plant in the mineral-rich
mountain soil. Well-drained, red-clay soil, combined with sunny
days and cool nights produce small, intensely flavored grapes with
a higher acidity and a lower pH than valley fruit. These grapes are
picked at a higher sugar to achieve the perfect balance for
exceptional wines.
