Vintification:

Grapes are harvested by hand and sorted for quality. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with an extended maceration to extract additional color and flavor. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak and 10 months in the bottle.

Tasting Notes:

Intense ruby red in the glass. Thick and lush, notes of blackberry, espresso bean and cherry. The wine delivers power in the mouth boosted by nicely etched tannins.
