Tasting Notes: On the nose this wine exhibits beautiful florals backed by pepper and lavender. On the palate, luscious berries and smooth, soft rose petals shows up front while the bright acidity and supple tannins bring around the well balanced finish. Winemakers Notes: The long, slow growing season allowed for full development and maximum flavors within the berries. On the day of harvest the grapes were picked before the sunrise and then destemmed into small open top fermenters. Before fermentation, the grapes were "cold soaked" just below the temperature where yeast become active to allow for enhanced concentration of water-soluble compounds. The grapes were then slowly fermented for a period of 18 days where multiple sets of hand punch downs mixed the must and controlled fermentation temperature. The free run was then drained into French barrels and the must was pressed with a small basket press then into barrel. The wine then completed secondary fermentation in barrel then allowed to age for 16 months before bottling unfiltered.
