About the wine
The 2016 Privé opens with cherry blossom floral notes and a hint of cocoa. Cherry and cassis flavors are layered with plum, boysenberry, and nuances of oak. The palate is round and rich with fine-grained tannins and a long, lingering finish.
The grapes were hand-picked between October 3 and 7, 2016, and went through extended maceration with an average of 49 days on skins. The wine was barrel aged for 20 months in 49% new French Oak before being bottled on August 15, 2018, unfined and unfiltered.
