The 2010 Messenger is our second release from this vineyard, planted in 1985. This dry-grown block has deeper terra rossa soils which produce great wines in warmer seasons, and it is fitting to acknowledge this quality with an individual label.
The warm and even 2010 vintage was ideally suited for this vineyard, on the southern end of the terra rossa strip, providing the perfect showcase for this elegant, fine wine.
