Full-bodied, the palate possesses great elegance and bags of poise with wonderfully ripe, plush tannins framing the perfumed black fruits, finishing very long and layered.
Delivers high quality sub appellated fruit at incredible value prices.
Sourced from grapes from the Ashe Vineyard located just south of Oakville Crossroads.
Grapes were harvested at night, hand sorted and de-stemmed. After a 7-day cold soak, and 2 week fermentation with gentle maceration the wine was moved into French oak, 50% new oak. The wine aged for 16 months before bottling
