Production notes

Temperature controlled fermentation lasts two to three weeks. Afterwards, and without clarifying, the grape pulp is directly transferred to an astute and subtle combination of French and American oak barrels that have been subject to various degrees of toasting. Where, in between frequent pump-overs, the wines are left to stand.

Press reviews

 Wine Enthusiast

- 93 points -

Deep violet-red in the glass, this wine has aromas of blackberry, cassis and dried Mediterranean herbs. Dark berries are joined on the palate by flavors of chocolate covered espresso bean, black olive paste and a hint of violet. Plush tannins make their way across the palate and dissolve into a bright, lingering finish.
