From five different clones. Matured for 20 months in French oak, 25% new. Compelling aromatics of red and black berries, violets, some leafiness, pencil shavings and earth. The palate possesses a great core of fruit, bright acidity and tannins that are firm but not astringent. Lithe and harmonious.
