Traditional skin fermentation followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels. Two to three rackings were done during the maturation period, and light filtration preceeded bottling. Barrel aging of fourteen months, with 25% new wood and 75% 2nd, 3rd fill.
Dark purple in color, almost black, with flashes of deep crimson. Alluring aromas of ripe black olive elegantly complemented by whiffs of pepper. A full-bodied, Rhône-style blend with intense flavors of ripe plum, black pepper, tapenade and umami. Supple ripe tannins and well-integrated natural acidity.
