Winemaker William Parker Notes
Technique: The fruit was destemmed and gently crushed into stainless steel fermentation tanks. Inoculated with Pasteur Red yeast, fermentation completing in 8 days. Pumped over twice daily, the wine was then held on the skins for an additional 12 days. Gently pressed in a bladder press, then racked off to barrel. Racked quarterly to allow for natural clarification.
Tasting Notes: Intriguing aromas of plum, cranberry, bitter sweet chocolate, walnut and smoke. Flavors of black currant and pepper wrap around a solid core of tannin's integrated into a long, silky finish.
