Nose
Beautiful aromatics of wild herbs and lavender with just a hint of sweet spices. Medium to full bodied yet balanced and elegant.
Palate
The velvety smooth mid-palate is loaded with black raspberries and black cherries that mingle nicely with chocolate and cinnamon. Natural acidity and ultra-fine tannins result in a juicy and long finish.
Harvest
The fruit was harvested and sorted by hand in early October. Approximately fifty percent of the fruit was left intact for whole cluster fermentation. A three-day cold soak was employed prior to primary fermentation.
Aging
The wine was aged for seventeen months in neutral French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered in February of 2018. No chemicals, adjuncts or other nonsense has been added to this wine.
