In the darkness of early morning, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were hand-picked into twenty-five pound bins to minimize crushing. When daylight hit, the grapes were subjected to rigorous selection by our multi-tiered sorting process, a slow, individual berry hand sort. The fruit was gently delivered to small tanks, which kept the berries intact. Cold soaks lasted for five days, and fermentations were managed through pump overs. Following twenty months in French oak barrels, 80% of which were new, the blend was selected from our best lots dedicated to captivating flavors profiles.
Crushed black currant and bing cherry aromas. Among these scents are black licorice, clove, and melted dark chocolate. Flavors of shortbread, blackberry, and plum hit the palate. Loamy black truffle elements add layers of savoriness to the long finish.
