Tasting Tips
Intense ruby-red in color, with a bouquet that dominated by fresh ripe black fruits with notes of chocolate and vanil Medium-bodied with tremendously silky tannins that lend a pleasing sens tion of sweetness as it glides over the palate to a beautifully long finish.The crushed grapes underwent a 7-10 day cold soak prior to vinification with selected yeasts. Fermenation began at 28º-30ºC (82º-86ºF) and was later lowered to 25ºC (77ºF). Constant pumpovers and variable fermentaiton times ensure good and controlled tannin extraction. Post-fermentation maceration was conducted as determined by tastings. Best drunk over the next 3 - 4 years
