20% is whole cluster. 62% of the wine goes into seasoned French puncheons for 8 months and 38% into stainless steel tank. Blackberries, ancho peppers and black sesame paste. Nigella seed and allspice with black peppercorns and olive. Mulberry and hawthorn on the palate, fruit is ripe but equally balanced by dark spices. This is taut and terrific in its shape with very soft plush tannins and a whirl of cardamom and cedar. Drink now and serve with spicy pepperoni pizza.
