Hand-harvested early October, macerated 14-15 days in rotofermenters, fermented with temperature control, aged 20-22 months in 20% new medium-toast French oak barriques, 3 months steel, 12 months bottle (unfined/unfiltered) at 14.5% alcohol.

Tasting Notes
Dense dark cherry red to ruby with garnet edge; strawberry, peach, fresh pink rose, hibiscus, crushed flowers, raspberry, spice, and floral complexity. Full-bodied palate layers ripe red fruit, silky creamy tannins, compacted structure, menthol freshness, orange peel vibrancy, and long elegant savory finish.
