A fluid style, exhibiting cherry, strawberry, currant, orange peel and leafy underbrush flavors. This has a sleek frame fused to dense, chalky tannins, with a finish that echoes the red fruit and underbrush notes. Best from 2026 through 2043. 500 cases made, 200 cases imported.

Violet, wild berry and sandalwood aromas come to the forefront along with new leather. Made with organically farmed grapes, the full-bodied, enveloping palate features ripe black cherry, licorice, mint and espresso framed in fine-grained, velvety tannins.”

Winemaker Notes

An exceptional wine, very elegant, complex and rich in minerals. Produced from hand-harvested grapes and fermented naturally for two weeks after soft pressing and destemming. The wine is aged in 54hl Allier French oak barrels for 48 months. Refined in bottle for one year minimum. Clean and intense bouquet with very ripe fruit and herbal nuances. Well balanced, fresh and intense in the mouth. Lasting and mature tannins. Black fruit and spice accompany soft vanilla flavors. Intense finish. Excellent with mature cheeses, grilled meats and game.”
