Nose
Oak spice, candle wax and semi-sweet chocolate aromas.
Palate
Black currant, plum and juicy ripe berries rev freely on the palate. The wine is deceptively powerful with supple, sweeping tannins.
Growing Conditions
Red varietals are picked at full ripeness and maturity. Hand sorted and de-stemmed to small stainless steel tanks and open top fermenters, the wines are pressed off at dryness after 2-4 weeks on the skins. Bordeaux varietals are aged primarily in new French oak for 19 months then bottled unfined and unfiltered. We also like American oak in some of our blends including the Alec's Blend and Syrah. We produce big, spicy, concentrated wines that are balanced yet full of black fruit and mature, mouth-coating tannins.
