Hand-harvested fruit was coldsoaked for four to five days before natural fermentation began. Approximately 10% whole-bunch clusters were included in some of the ferments. After fermentation the wine was left on the skins for extended time. Maturation was 15 months in 20% tight-grain French oak.
Bright and perfumed aromatics. A plush and red-fruited palate. Soft, approachable fine-grained tannin. A hint of spice adds complexity. A precise acid back-bone gives good length.
