Director of winemaking and viticulture Remi Cohen described 2011 as "an elegant, pretty year in which the hillside vineyards did especially well."She left the wines on their heavy lees to enrich their middle palates.In 2012, on the other hand, she thinned the vines early in order to keep the crop level normal and noted that Cliff Lede was the first producer to pick fruit in Oakville's To Kalon vineyard.Alcohol levels for the very rich 2012s will be in the mid-15s.By the way, the 2012s had not yet been racked at the time of my March visit.Winemaker Chris Tynan suggested that they may only be racked for the assemblage.(My samples of the '12s were representative blends.)
