Tasting Notes
“This classic, bold Merlot delivers aromas of spice and blackberry, with a perfect balance of slight earth, dusty cocoa and ripe berry flavors. The wine closes with a rich, velvety, dark chocolate finish.” -Ray Einberger, Winemaker.
Vinification
* Grapes were crushed at 30% whole-berry to retain the fruit quality.
* Fermentation lasted 7-14 days on the skins to extract optimum fruit and structural components.
* Various yeasts were used to maintain fruit flavors and complexity.
* Malolactic fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels.
* Blending occurred shortly after malolactic fermentation.
* The wine was barrel aged in 40% new American and French oak, and 60% older oak for 14-18 months.
