Nose

Focused, bright red fruit on the nose with cherry cola and hints of grapefruit zest.

Palate

On the palate, bright red cherry and wild berry with a blend of earthy notes and undertones of baking spice. Structured acid and soft tannins create a rounded mouthfeel.

Growing Conditions

2012 was a “vintage” year, with many growers claiming it to be the best in living memory. Yields 3were record-breaking high and the weather was mild and steady, which allowed for extra hang-time and fruit-development. We are proud of the results of this vintage.

Aging

100% french oak; 25% new; 11 months
