Tasting Notes:
Aromas of dark berries, chocolate and roasted coffee carry through to the palate with flavors of blackberry and cassis, fine, elegant tannins, with toasty mocha notes and a complex, lingering finish. Suggested Pairings: Filet mignon with Gorgonzola sauce, lamb tagine with couscous and roasted pinenuts, classic macaroni and cheese.
Winemaking Notes:
After night and early morning harvest, the grapes went through an extended maceration on the skins for up to two weeks during fermentation to extract depth and flavor. The wine was then gently pressed, racked into new and seasoned French oak barrels, and aged for 14 months. Individual barrel lots were then selected for the final blend. These lots included a small amount of Petite Sirah for enhanced depth and dark berry fruit concentration, and a splash or Merlot for plush texture. After blending, the wine received a gentle filtering prior to bottling.
