Tasting note
Medium-bodied with aromas of blackberry and cigar-box, complimented by a richly structured palate with a plush, lingering finish

Two batches were fermented in stainless steel tanks with 2 open pump-overs daily, then a week of extended skin contact post-fermentation. After pressing, the wine completed malolactic fermentation in tank. Maturation took place in 225L French oak barriques for 24 months (approximately 30% first fill).
