With 30+ months in barrel and then more than a year in bottle prior to release, this wine is showing beautifully right now and will continue to age well for at least a decade. From the meticulously farmed Kimsey Vineyard this wine boasts dark cherry fruit along with sandalwood spice and a very plush, rounded mouthfeel. We are very excited to share this wine with you.
This wine has an inky, dark red to purple color. On the nose, classic dark-skinned fruits like black cherry, plum and black berries mingle with dried meats and leathery earthiness. Stem inclusion is obvious, adding to the spicy/earthy aroma as well as adding a good dose of tannin. On the palate, more of those dark fruits are present wrapped in a rich, velvety swath of tannin. The finish on this wine is very long and I especially love the well-developed integration of fruit, stems and acid, all working in harmony with one another to help it linger on your palate well after you’ve swallowed.
