2016 Kenefick Doctor's Cuvée
Every year the Doctor's Cuvee is selected from the best lots of the vintage and the finest barrels of each lot. We then flash that blend in a small amount of new French Oak to add boldness and character impact. The 2016 uses our best barrels from a Clone 6 block and from our Clone 337 block. The 2016 vintage was a very balanced vintage with a cooler growing season and extended hange time for very complex character development.
