Maceration and fermentation in steel tanks for 15 days, with occasional pumpovers, punch downs and delstages. Malolactic fermentation occurs in French oak. The wine is then barrel aged for 8 months and bottle aged for another 6 months.
Tasting Notes:
An intense ruby red color in the glass. Intense and complex nose, with red and black forest berry fruit, peonies, violets, juniper, vegetal accents, and underbrush. Intense, persistent, and nicely structured; it is rich and fresh on the palate, with powerful tannins and smoky notes in the finish.
