Description
Light bodied with a silky texture and a complex bouquet of sour cherry, smoked meat, sweet spices, and milk chocolate. Dry with an initial burst of red fruit showing red cherry and redcurrant, which evolve into ripe plum and black cherry.
Layers build with notes of nutmeg, black pepper, and forest floor. Fine, savory tannins with a fresh, cleansing acidity highlighted by top notes of violets.

Whole bunches of Grenache Noir and Cinsault spontaneously fermented. Manual punch downs and pump overs are used to gently extract color and flavor. Syrah destemmed and fermented as whole berries to preserve fruit flavors. Varieties matured separately in seasoned 500L French oak barrels for 12 months
