Tasting Notes:

Crushed and destemmed to fermentor and “cold soaked” for 2 days. Racked once and inoculated for malolactic fermentation. Upon completion of malolactic, racked to new and two year old, tight grain, small (225L) oak barrels.

Full-bodied wine exhibiting blackberry, cherry and licorice aromas, with mocha and vanilla from the barrel aging. This wine is nicely balanced with ample but smooth tannins.
