 Vintage Aging chart

Age – Age Worthy – Drinkable now but these red wines may have “grippy” tannin with notes focused more on fresh fruit and oak. During this phase the wine may taste better paired with food. White wines may have a more narrow profile as the wine needs time to develop.

Peak – Age Peak – Red wines will have smoother tannins. Fruit and oak notes coalesce with “Bottle Bouquet” such as rose petal, tea leaves, dried fruit, and earthy hints. Both red and white wines at their peak will showcase a broad array of notes while being well-integrated and balanced.

Past – Past Peak – Red wine tannins will continue to soften. The color will begin to “fall out” turning from red/garnet into a brick red hue. As color and tannin precipitate out more sediment may form. The notes continue to evolve away from fruit notes into more earthy, potpourri, and nutty notes. White wines will darken into more amber hues as fresh fruit and flora notes are replaced with dried fruit and nutty notes.
