The nose is characterized by subtle spicy oak, traces of cedar wood and delicate aromas of rich violets. Red fruit flavors on the palate make for a savory, firm finish. The wine has fine, integrated tannins with persistent length.
This wine was produced with meticulous care. Grapes were hand sorted. Whole berry fermentation and basket pressing ensured gentle extraction of fruit. The wine was matured in 60% new French oak barrels for 16 months.
