Nose
On the nose this wine shows beautiful hints of dark berry fruit and toasty oak. Prominent notes of ripe cherry, leather and cedar will satisfy your senses after some precious time in your glass. You will also be greeted by a distinctive earthy element that makes for a balanced and intense aroma.
Palate
The mouth feel is “sweet” and supple, with layered tannins and great acidity for structure. Dark fruit carries through on the palate and lingers on in the pleasant finish.
Growing Conditions
Vineyards: Phinny Hill, Double Canyon, Double River
Winemaking
Ripe, intense fruit was fermented separately in small lots. The most expressive and com-plex barrels from these lots were carefully chosen and then blended together prior to bottling.
Aging
Aged gracefully in new French oak for 20 months; 100% French oak, 100% New.
Food Pairing
This wine will even be more delightful with wild duck or pheasant, green bean stew or aged sheep’s cheese.
