Quite honestly, Two Acres has been on an incredible run.  In the early years, it seemed as if I always preferred the even years – 1998, 2000, 2002, and so on.  But from 2007 on, the wines from these two acres of vines planted in 1910 have been absolutely lip-smacking delicious.  The Petite, Peloursin, and Syrah were picked on October 4th and co-fermented as one lot while the Mourvèdre, Carignane, and Alicante were picked a week later and co-fermented in another lot.  Usually a kitchen-sink blend of both lots is our favorite but in this vintage we preferred a blend that left out several barrels of the Mourvèdre lot.  Indigenous fermentation on both lots.  Only 15% new oak.  Bottled unfined an unfiltered.
