All lots were destemmed to allow the expressive fruit to come through and this concentrated fruit required only a 3-day cold soak. A quick fermentation lasting 4 days followed and the wine was off to age, keeping with our philosophy of minimal intervention winemaking.
With an initial spiced marionberry quality, the wine unwinds slowly into notes of cedar plank and delicate rose petal, framed by fine, dusty tannins. The palate is expressive with tangy notes of sarsaparilla, red currant and warm baking spice.
91 Points Wine Enthusiast | Rich cherry-juice aromas are concentrated on the nose of this affordable, easyto-find bottling, with accents of sandalwood and loamy earth providing depth. The palate is loaded with dark, plummy flavors that are cut by oregano, bay leaf and singed herb.
