This was amazing. Seriously amazing. The flavors are beyond fantastic as they blend together. And for under 40 a bottle.... seriously wonderful. Not as meaty as cab but it certainly can hold its own.

Winemaker's Notes:

All fruit rigorously hand sorted and fully destemmed with no crushing. Pre-fermentation "cold soak" 4-5 days depending on lot. Full native yeast primary fermentation. Punchdown frequency depending on tannin structure of the given clone and the dynamics of fermentation. Total skin contact ranged from 16-22 days depending on extraction and balance. All ferments gently basket pressed and put to barrel on full fermentation lees for ML. Minimal racking with only one assemblage (retaining "light lees") in early Spring allowing the blend to "marry" in barrel prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes:

Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry and red plum with hints of mineral, dried herbs and orange blossom. Rich & well balanced in the mouth. Ample, elegant structure and lively acidity. Long supple tannins. Drink over the next 3 years.
