Beautiful burgundy color. Aromas of strawberries, sun dried cherries, hints of cocoa with underlying earthiness and soil. Silky cherry and strawberry fruits lead to nuances of cinnamon spice, and sandalwood. On the palate, ripe berry flavors lead to a juicy mid palate moving to spice and fresh acidity.

Fermentation: These varieties were fermented
separately in open top tanks. A combination of
punch down and pump over was used during
fermentation to preserve aromas and achieve the
desired structure, and then carefully blended to
produce a very intense yet approachable young
wine. Aged in 30% New French Oak, 20% New
American and 50% seasoned oak.

Blend: 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Zinfandel, 17% Malbec, 17% Syrah, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc.
