A bright garnet colour with a youthful purple rim. An everchanging, complex bouquet of black cherry, dark plum, blackberry, sweet spice, cedar, oak, roasted nut, and new leather. This medium to full-bodied red has soft yet drying tannins, and moderate acidity, along with fruit-flavours of red and black berries, plum, and cherry, with notes of spice and oak. Blackberry, black cherry, spice, black tea, and oak lingers on the extra-dry finish.
WINEMAKING The whole-cluster Malbec grapes were dumped into the fermentation tank first, then the lightly crushed Merlot grapes were gently added on top of the Malbec [the Malbec underwent carbonic fermentation, fermenting from the inside of the grape, and the Merlot was inoculated]. The wine saw careful punch downs for cap management of the Merlot only such that the Malbec was not disturbed. The Merlot provided protection for the Malbec from the air. Once fermentation was complete the blend was sent to press, then aged in 100% French oak barrels, 13% new, for 10 months before filtering and bottling.
