Production notes

With each region maturing at different times, we enjoy optimizing the individual parcels to bring layers to the final blend.

French Oak aging begins shortly after vintage at the earliest stages of the new wines, and blending takes place in multiple stages over the 18 months following harvest to integrate and harmonize the components prior to bottling.

Tasting notes

Aromas of dark cherry fruit wrapped in caramel and mocha accented by toffee oak. The palate opens with generous plum, cherry, boysenberry, and red currant fruit. Soft, smooth tannins midpalate with a dense core of fruit and layered with oak-derived notes of coffee, toffee, and toast.
