Overview
Fresh and buoyant with a medium to full bodied palate. Sweet fruited entry of red current, dried juniper, baked plum leads to a mid palate which turns savory and tight. The tannin profile has accents of fresh turned earth and fresh cedar.
Aging
10% new Taransaud French oak hogsheads. Remainder in one to seven year old French oak hogsheads.
Fermentation
The many parcels making up this wine were crushed into and fermented in open top vessels, with regular pump overs (three daily over peak fermentation) to extract color, flavor and tannins. Average time ‘on skins’ was 14 days. The batches were then drained and pressed to tank and then racked to barrel for oak maturation.
