“THIS FULL-BODIED, OAK-SPICED WINE WRAPS DELICIOUS BLACKBERRY-JAM AND BLUEBERRY-PIE FLAVORS IN MODERATE, VELVETTY TANNINS FOR A MOUTHFILLING, PALATE-SATURATING EFFECT. THE WARM FLAVORS ARE HARD TO RESIST. ”
Manufacturing
The harvest already started at the beginning of August with the grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The first red grapes were harvested from the beginning of September to early October. After a large harvest the previous year, this harvest was expected to be smaller than average. But the harvest turned out to be good again both in terms of quantity and quality. With moderate temperatures throughout the summer, the fruit in the grapes developed perfectly with lots of flavor and good acidity. The wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with a bit of Petite Sirah. After fermentation, the wine has matured for 15 months in French oak barrels.
