Palate

The 2015 bursts with bright, energetic aromas and flavors of fresh black cherry, black plum right from the tree, pomegranate, wet slate, peppercorn, lavender, and savory herbs. The flavors have long, beautiful length in the mouth and the wine’s classic Stags Leap District tannins offer structure and promise for delicious things to come in the cellar.

Harvest

The warm, dry vintage gave us smaller berries packed with rich color and intense flavor becoming wines with excellent structure and extraction that are destined to age beautifully in the cellar.

Aging

20 months in 100% new French oak barrels (Allier & Tronçais).
