Notes

As you come up to our property, the Beehive block lies as the first section immediately to the right of the drive.The name stems from some abandoned beekeeper boxes remaining on the land when I acquired it in 1990. This bottling received extended, older French oak aging of 18 months.The result is beautifully integrated structure from the wood, melding into the natural dark cherry and currant tones of the wine. A smokey, pipe tobacco nose lasts throughout a lingering finish. Classic Phelps Creek.
