Dark and intense in color, RU3 showcases aromas of dark fruits. Blackberry, black cherry and plum mingle with espresso, dark chocolate, anise and toasted French oak. Black plum and black cherry continue through to the palate where they complement the dark cocoa and mocha flavors. This is a dense and refined wine with fine-grained tannins and a silky finish that lingers.
In the cool morning hours, the grapes were harvested by hand and brought to the winery where they were hand sorted. 50% of the sorted berries were placed directly into new French Oak barrels where they went through natural fermentation. The barrels were hand rolled six times a day to encourage cap maceration and extraction from the berries. After fermentation, the wine remained on the skins for an extended maceration and barrel integration. Once complete, the wine was drained and the skins removed. The drained wine then returned to the same barrel to age for 19 months.
96 Points, James Suckling – “This is extremely well-done with fine grained tannins that are long and persistent and give this wine drive and freshness. Full body, bright and vivid. Extremely long and polished. I love the currant and berry” – JS, Jan 2018
