Nose
Aromas of dark berries and plums and savory notes of black pepper, licorice, tamarind, forest floor, tar, and graphite.

After inoculation with French yeast, the wine underwent small-batch fermentation, with gentle pumpovers 2-3 times per day. In barrel, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was racked twice before bottling in June 2015.
