Winemakers Comments
A concentrated complex wine with flavors of red cherries, perfumed cigar smoke and layers of dark chocolate. The wine is full, rich and well-balanced on the mid-palate and finishes off with a lingering dark fruit aftertaste. Paired beautifully with grilled red meats, rich tomato-based dishes, matured cheeses with preserves and barbecue.

Vinification
All grapes harvested by hand and then chilled down to 2-4C before being destemmed and crushed into open top fermentation tanks. Cold soaked in tank for 2 days before allowing fermentation to initiate in order for maximum extraction. Fermentation is temperature controlled and punch downs are performed on the tanks four times per day. The wine spends a further three weeks on the skins post fermentation for further flavor development. After being pressed the wine goes through malolactic fermentation in barrel.
