Vibrant wild blackberries, black plums and sweet tobacco, followed by cinnamon and star anise. Red raspberries and fruit leather lead into flavors of baking spice, vanilla bean and milk chocolate. Silky tannins with fun notes of volcanic rock and hints of lemon juice on the finish.
Hand-picked, hand-sorted Malbec sourced mainly from the Rocky Reach AVA with a splash of Malbec from Gamache Vineyard in the White Bluffs AVA . Whole-berry fermented in several one-ton bins using a variety of yeasts to achieve a complexity of varietal character, mouthfeel and aroma. Aged for 20 months in 25% new French oak barrels.
