Tasting Notes: Ruby-red in color with good intensity. Nicely aromatic, the nose is both fruity and spicy and offers notes of toast and coffee with a hint of herbs. The palate shows a very good balance between oak wood and fruit. This is a complex wine with notes of red fruits, cassis, nice body, soft tannins, and a long finish.
Vinification Process: Specially selected grapes were hand-picked at the optimum of their maturity, in late April. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks under controlled conditions for 15 days, with an additional 10-day extended maceration. 50% of the wine was aged in French oak barrels for ten months.
