Winemaking & Tasting Notes

Four carefully selected varietals, come together in an uncommon blend, a subtle liquid work of art, with a wide spectrum of aromas from dried prunes to smoke to cherries and spice. This wine offers fresh entry to the mouth. Integration of wood is well balance by the ripe red fruits with a touch of sweetness. In the midpalate, the soft tannins announce themselves. In the aft-palate, it offers fruit-filled length. This unfiltered wine offers outstanding balance and structure, making it perfect for ageing or immediate enjoyment.
