Winemaker Notes: 

"An ancient variety indigenous to Armenia, Areni has adapted perfectly to the high altitude, mountainous region of Vayots Dzor, where the vines thrive on the rocky, mineral-rich, volcanic soils. This late ripening grape makes fresh, elegant, structured wines with bright red fruit flavors, and a characteristic black pepper spice.  

Complex aromas of blackcurrant, spiced plum, and cacao nib entice in this barrel-aged Areni. Layered notes of spiced fig, forest floor, and black pepper are balanced by dusty tannins and a lingering finish." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
