AFS 10th Anniversary Wine-Making Event OVERVIEW

AFS toasts their tenth anniversary with a big wine-making event. They invited a group of clients and colleagues to join them in making their custom, hand-crafted red wine at Bacchus Winemaking Club in Toms River, NJ.

Several AFS wine-makers returned to Bacchus Winemaking Club to “barrel taste” our wine. Samples were drawn from the barrel to check on the aging process. The wine was smooth and easy drinking, with the fruit of the Petit Syrah most noticeable. Continued tannin development is expected over the next few months in barrel, which will impart structure in the wine. The 2013 vintage for California grapes was a winner, and we’re excited to bottle our wine this summer.

We returned to barrel taste the wine again. What a difference a month makes! The Cabernet Sauvignon is more forward now, and the blend is becoming more dimensional.
