Nose
Dark fruit notes—maraschino cherry & blueberry— and hint of anise on the nose.
Palate
Notes of cherry preserve on the palate mixed with dried herbs and tarragon. Lingering finish coupled with good tannin structure.
Winemaking
The five different varietals were each fermented in open top tanks and punched down during their time on skins. The goal is to extract color and tannin without remaining too long (14 – 18 days) on skins before pressing to retain the vibrant fruit notes.
Aging
Aged for 12 months in Hungarian oak.
Appearance
Medium to full bodied with a deep magenta color.
