WINEMAKING NOTES

The fruit reached perfect physiological ripeness retaining natural grape acidity resulting in very balanced wines with low alcohol and rich concentrated varietal flavors.The wine was fermented in small lots using hand-crafted winemaking techniques and matured for 22 months in a combination of new and seasoned, two year old, and neutral Taransaud French Oak Barrels. The wine was racked three times in barrel and bottled in July of 2021.

TASTING NOTES

The wine is very dark with hues of deep red and magenta.  The wine has an attractive and seductive nose of spice, sweet tobacco, redcurrents, and cherry fruit with earthy nuances and hints of cedar, plum, and red clay. On the palate the wine is fruity with the perfect amount of spice complementing the tastes of blackberry and red plum.  The wine is beautifly textured and balanced with a finish that is lovely and lingering full of strong yet soft tannins and the suppleness of perfectly ripe fruit.  It is stunning to drink today and will deliciously pair well with Santa Maria style Tri-Tip.
