Nose
Expressive with dark chocolate, cedar, black cherry, and the spiciness of a black mission fig.
Palate
The wine shows lovely texture, with supportive, mouth-filling tannins that mingle well with flavors of darkly roasted coffee, blueberries, black cherry, and subtle clove. The wine is dense and supple, with a lingering, sweetly smoky finish. Drinkable now but will age gracefully due to its heritage.
Growing Conditions
All fruit is organically grown.
Harvest
The grapes were harvested October 11, 2012.
Aging
22 months in 60% new French oak barrels from Treuil cooperage (i.e. Ailler and Troncais).
Appearance
The wine is a deep red in the glass, with lightly purple undertones.
