Abbott Claim is a single vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton District. Ruby with floral & spicy aromas. Dark fruit and plum flavors on the palate with spices and mineral notes. Medium finish soft tannins ending with berry fruit and earthy tones. Much better than the ‘12 vintage I tasted.

The acid on this is mental. And a torrent of deep red cherries.
