wine profile
Fortress delivers aromas of dark fruit, mocha and baking spices on the nose. The palate exhibits well
integrated tannins that complement the subtle earthy avors of pomegranate, blackberry and sweet pipe
tobacco. With a rich, opulent mouth feel, Fortress is an approachable wine with a silky, lush nish.
growing season NOTES:
2012 was a great growing season, and has been referred to as a textbook vintage for Bordeaux varietals
in Sonoma County. The weather was moderate, allowing the vines to achieve balanced canopy growth and
sugar levels that resulted in high-quality fruit with great depth and complexity.
