Nose

Aromas of soft rose petal, cherry, fresh plum and wild sage greet the nose on first swirl.

Palate

Ripe plum, raspberry pie, cedar and wet stone amplify in the mid-palate, and lift into fresh-cut fennel through the finish. Delightfully clean and focused, leaving the palate energized.

Winemaking

The grape clusters were hand-sorted, and once de-stemmed, the berries were sorted again by hand on the way to tank. After four to five days of pre-fermentation cold maceration in small open-top fermentors, the fruit began 100% native yeast fermentation. Two to three weeks later, the fruit was gently pressed and moved to barrel where it finished primary and secondary fermentations.

Aging

The wine continued to age in 67% new French oak for twelve months.

Appearance

Brilliant ruby in color.
