Black cherries and mulberry introduce a rich, complex middle palate with hints of all spice and vanilla. This medium- to full-bodied wine shows great balance and beautiful integration. Fermentation was completed in 15 days followed by racking to 30% new and 70% third-fill barrels to continue malolactic fermentation in a combination of 80% French and 20% American oak barrels. The wine was blended after 14 months of maturation.
