Nose
Concentrated aromas of black currant, raspberry and dark cherry continue to develop on the
palate, intertwining with hints of cinnamon and dark chocolate.
Palate
Smooth round and focused, the
mature tannins add depth while the silky texture adds breadth and weight for a lengthy finish and
a lasting impression.
Winemaking
Hand-picked in the early morning so the grape clusters would remain cool and intact, the fruit
was quickly brought to the winery where it was de-stemmed, crushed and placed in stainless steel
tanks for fermentation. The wine was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks
and pressed off the skins at sugar dryness. The wine was racked to 100% French oak barrels (50%
new) where it aged for 20 months with three rackings prior to bottling.
