Hand-picked in the cool of the night, this fruit is brought to the winery and carefully cluster sorted, de-stemmed (but not crushed) and gently pumped to fermenters where it undergoes our proprietary extended cold soak for maximum aqueous color and flavor extraction. Following the extended cold soak, native fermentation commences, not over 80 degrees and our normal gentle pump-over protocols take place. Barrel aged in 100% French Oak barrels for 18 months gives wonderful aromas and nuanced tannin structure.

The result is an elegant expression of red and black fruit with subtle hints of spice.
