About the wine
A rich, deep purple in the glass, this wine opens with aromas of cassis, blackberry, viola, and a touch of chocolate. Full-bodied with dark plum fruit flavors that blend with mocha, allspice and anise. The finish is luxurious, decadent and well-integrated with ripe, plush tannins.
The grapes were fermented on the skins for an average of 41 days with pump overs twice daily. After native fermentation, the wine was gently pressed, racked, and aged for 18 months in 41% new Taransaud, Baron, and Ermitage French oak barrels. Tightly grained French oak barrels impart their oak to wines slowly for a consistent, well-rounded aging process while yielding subtle oak influences to the Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
