This wine is the color of a velour track suit. It reminds me of the good cocktail cherries, the ones that go in manhattans at the fancy restaurants. It reminds me of everything that is purple in the world.
This is juicy and delicious and the tannins are present but not attacking. This is a great dinner wine with minerality and slate and boysenberries all over the place.
40% of this wine enjoyed carbonic maceration, 50% of it was fermented with whole cluster. All of it was fermented in close top egg shaped fermenters and aged in neutral French oak for 10 months, before it was bottled unfined and unfiltered. 125 cases produced.
