and acacia flowers

1989 was the final vintage for the Gombaude Guillot Cuvee Speciale

I elected to skip ahead towhat I see as a more exciting vintage

Three, Conta Costa County, Old Vines Field Blend 2012 Sauvignon Blanc and acacia flowersThe 2012 Three Old Vines Field Blend is a spectacular blend of 100 year old vine Zinfandel, Mataro, Carignan, Alicante, Petit Syrah, and Malvasia Nero. Brilliant purple black to the edge, with intoxicating primary fruit aromas of blackberry, mountain blueberry, violets, and graphite. Rich and juicy on the attack, silken in texture, the core bursts with black fruit intensity at once plush, round, and suave finishing with the excellent low pH vibrancy
