This blend was inspired by the Rhône-style wines of France. Ripe raspberry and plum notes open on the nose along with hints of five spice and tarragon. The Winemaker’s Blend is elegantly bodied and reflects a red and black medley of fruits including black plum, candied cherries and fig.

Notes

The varietals were individually harvested into small bins, then the grapes were delivered to the winery in a refrigerat- ed truck to preserve freshness and minimize oxidation. The grapes were kept separate, sorted and de-stemmed into fermentation tanks where they rested and soaked for an average of 5 days. After warm fermentations, the wines went through extended maceration for an average of 8-12 additional days. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels for 19 months until bottling.
