Frequent pump-overs during ferment aided the extraction of colour and tannin. The wine was then run off into a blend of new and old American oak. The wine spent 9 months aging in barrel then was blended and bottled with minimal filtration on the 20th of September 2005.Tasting Notes:The bouquet opens up with cherry and red fruits. Vanilla an |
