Winemaker Notes: 

"This mountain fruit came in at 23 brix, was 100% destemmed, as we were looking to manage what can sometimes be a burly tannic structure, co-fermented in stainless steel tank with twice daily pump overs, then racked to neutral oak puncheons. This wine displayed a reticent, ominous presence during fermentation, but began to open up after ML, showing a pleasing profile of dark fruits and slate." 

Alcohol: 13%
