Our 2008 Sodaro Estate Blend delights with its deep blueberry hue and highly concentrated flavor. This wine is enveloped in aromatic primary fruit qualities showing off flavorful hints of ripe blackberries and raspberries, with notes of violets, clove and sweet tobacco. Our Estate Blend is further distinguished by its rich structure, fine balance and firm, velvety tannins.

The 2008 growing season was marked by dramatic variances in weather conditions. Periods of thick frost in the Spring lead to extraordinary heat spikes in the late Summer, with low overall rain totals throughout the maturation period. These challenging conditions handed to us by Mother Nature gave us a harvest half the size of 2007’s total yield, yet produced fruit with fine balance, great concentrations of flavor, and fragrant aromatic qualities, resulting in a spectacular outcome and a truly epic 2008 vintage.
