Tasting Notes
A vibrant, deeply hued wine with expressive aromas of dark cherry, black mulberry, black pepper, fragrant violet and cigar box. Bright and youthful with energetic black cherry, boysenberry, anise and baking spices. A richly textured offering that lingers on the palate.
Winemaking
The fruit was hand harvested in the cool morning hours and brought to the winery in half ton bins. The clusters were sorted using a double sorting system. First, the clusters were sorted by hand, then run through a small destemmer that removed stems from the grapes prior to the individual berries being sorted to ensure that the most ideal grapes were chosen. These berries were delivered to a fermenter where there was a period of resting on skins. Warm fermentation temperatures were encouraged along with gentle cap maceration to achieve the desired color and structure for the wine before an extended maceration time on skins prior to final pressing. The wine was transferred directly to barrel for 19 months of maturation.
