Description
Grapes were hand-picked and sorted in the early morning at Cavalli. Both batches were fermented in stainless steel tanks with 2 open pumpovers daily. The wine was given a week of extended skin contact post fermentation. After pressing, the wine completed malolactic fermentation in tank. Maturation took place in 225L French oak barriques for 24 months (approximately 30% first fill).
Tasting Note: Medium bodied with aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate and coffee. Layers of vanilla and cigar box compliment a richly structured palate with a plush, lingering finish.
