Fining with egg-whites. Natural tartaric stabilizing thanks to the cold winter temperature. Aging in Vat.
Tasting Notes
This wine is beautifully mature. Ruby-red raspberry aromas scuttle across the nose lifted by red cherry, hints of black tea and pencil shavings. The palate is black-fruit fulsome with relaxed tannins that hug to the finish. The wine is lovely, and ready to drink now. — Reggie Solomon
