tasting notes
Red currant and cassis aromas wrap around a core of licorice in
this intensely colored wine. It's soft and silky on the entry with a
flavorful package loaded with wild berries, fresh plums, and hints
of oak spice complemented by a lively acidity and firmly textured
mid-palate with a silky finish.
winemaker's insight
Small lots of hand-harvested grapes were brought to the winery
and crushed using a technique known as saignée in which five
to 10 percent of the grapes' juice is removed from the tank to
enhance concentration. Extended maceration for an average of
30 days in small two-ton tanks provided optimal extraction to
broaden the finished wine's mid-palate.
