Notes | |||
"To get the balance between fruit and extract, the alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with 18 days of maceration and frequent pump overs. Aged a minimum of 18 months in American oak barrels and maturing in the bottle for at least 18 months." -Winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Dried violets, orange peel, citrus, undergrowth and spices. Racy and tight on the palate, which runs along in a guise of fresh raspberries and red cherries. Sweeps through a tangy finish. Delicious. Drink now." —James Suckling "This red's thick texture is built of muscular tannins and ripe fruit. Plum and currant flavors mingle with forest floor, clove and baking spice notes. Orange peel acidity keeps this lively. Solid. Drink now through 2030. 100,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported" —Wine Spectator |
