Winemaking
Fermented in open- and closed-top stainless steel tanks and mixed twice a day, then aged 21 months in barrel.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Purple and ruby at the core, lightening toward the rim.
Nose: Black plum, dried fig and blackcurrant, then vanilla, cigar box, cinnamon and clove from the barrel.
Palate: Ripe black cherry, boysenberry and black olive up front, moving into dried leaves, herbes de Provence and cured meat. The long finish brings barrel spice, smoky black tea and toasted oak.
Pairing
The winery suggests grilled hanger steak with chimichurri, game such as venison or wild boar, or grilled salmon.
Serving
Serve just below room temperature. Opening it about an hour ahead lets it relax.
