Tasting note
While not overly ripe or extracted, the wine has remarkable freshness, texture, richness, and length. Four extra months of barrel aging give it a high level of polish and a silky finish.
Viticulture
Sited between the sheltering Vaca and Mayacamas mountain ranges deep in the valley, the vineyard has well-drained, gravelly soil that allows the vines to root deeply to find precious moisture and nutrients. The broad diurnal temperature shifts and reliable sun, wind, and fog provide the ideal blend of growth and rest for complex flavor development.
Vinification
The grapes were carefully fermented after a thoughtful sorting at the winery and macerated on the skins for almost 30 days on average to fully burnish the tannins and maximize the potential of the vineyard. Already appealing in its youth, it will become more complex in the coming years and should age well for at least 15–20 years in the bottle.
