Traditional fermentation the skin was followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels. Two to three rackings were done during the maturation period, and light filtration preceded bottling. Barrel aging of twelve months, with 25% new wood, 75% 2nd, 3rd fill.
Deep ruby in color, with an intensely fragrant bouquet of cherry, red and dark berry aromas, elegant vanilla, and a whiff of wood spice. These follow through on the palate where soft, supple tannins contribute to the dense structure. A wine of outstanding balance, with a lingering, memorable aftertaste. An excellent accompaniment to seared tuna.
