Deep crimson-purple; the grapes come from the Ebenezer Vineyard of the 16th generation Schrapel family, only 370 dozen made; a 10-day fermentation/maceration followed by 10 months in French oak. It pulses black fruits, licorice and plush tannins, the oak seemingly with a high percentage of new barrels, but easily accommodated by the fruit, the overall mouthfeel perfectly balanced and elegant.
