Description
Awarded a Double Gold Medal at the 2013 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. The 'Old Head' here refers to the purposeful aging in previously used barrels to gain the benefits of the creamy feel and vanilla complexities provided by the oak, without allowing the oak to overshadow the bright fruit flavours.

Tasting Notes
This medium-bodied wine is subtle on the nose, but opens up on the palate to rich fruit and spice flavors that coat the tongue. It is balanced toward the soft side, but with underling acidity to balance the richness. Best Buy. Score - 90. (Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, March 1, 2019)
