Nose
Robust aromas of dark fruit compote tapering into earthy notes of leather, clay pots, and juniper berries.
Palate
Savor the opulence of raspberries and cherries with undertones of allspice and smoked paprika.
Growing Conditions
A hot, dry spring followed by summer rains allowed our vines to push far ahead of average and thrive into a mild, frostless Fall. With the long growing season, grapes had time to build character, creating wines with plenty of color, mouthfeel and identity.
Harvest
October was ideal for harvest. Mild weather ensured steady fruit development and ripening.
Aging
Aged 15 months in French Oak. 33% New Barrels.
Appearance
Medium Ruby
Food Pairing
