Dark ruby red in the glass. Aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plum with hints of oak spice. Dark fruit flavors with full-bodied palate and well-integrated oak with fresh and firm tannin structure. Will benefit from further time in the bottle with recommended aging for 5 years.
The grapes were picked over several days to ensure perfect maturity of each block. Bunches were destalked and lightly crushed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks and open top wooden foudres. After malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 15 months in 15% new French and a small percentage of older American oak barrels, before blending and bottling.
