Aromas of rich concentrated blueberry, leather and baking spices jump out of the glass. The wine has a powerful entry with fruit flavors of strawberry pie, stewed raspberry, and blueberry preserves. Bright spice, walnuts and fresh herbs flavors are balanced with Bell Mountain's distinctive fresh acidity and medium tannins.

Winery Info
MEDLOCK AMES
Medlock Ames Winery was formed in 1998 by college best friends, Chris Medlock James and Ames Morison, who set out to produce award-winning wines from Bell Mountain Ranch. Their winemaking philosophy is for each wine in each vintage to be the ultimate expression of their land and of the year inwhich it is grown. The grapes they grow at Bell Mountain Vineyard are full of personality. They believe in reviving elegance in agriculture and strive to maintain a natural balance in their vineyard. Organic farming requires healthy, fertile soil and all of their farming practices revolve around that goal.
