Description

Big yielding crop on the vines to slow down the ripening in what was a long hot and dry Fall. Hungarian, Oregon and French oak barrels used for aging the wine 11 months in 10% new wood. The nose offers aromas of fresh raspberries, rose blossom, leather, and a beautiful earthiness. On the palate, it lands on cranberry and tart cherry flavors with bright notes of hibiscus tea followed by earthy hints of cocoa dust, dried herbs and a dash of baking spices.
