Aged for 12 months in all neutral French oak 350 to 600 liter barrels, a 600 gallon Foudrè and a 600 gallon concrete tank. Sourced from Paso Robles, Sonoma Valley and Russian River vineyards. A purple / red / black color fills the glass and then the blackberry jam starts to waft out, even before you put your nose to the wine. Along with the blackberry, this wine is loaded with black cherry, Australian black licorice and a smoked beef essence. The palate is soft, lush, and demanding to be tasted. Blackberry, wild raspberry, anise and Crème Brûlée float across the palate. Power, finesse and elegance. 35% Syrah, 29% Zinfandel, 15% Petite Sirah, 14% Grenache, 4% Mourvèdre, 3% Carignane
