The dark and brooding nose showcases black licorice, Sichuan peppercorn, hoisin and just a hint of vanilla. The lively palate opens up with Bing cherry, raspberry, rolling tobacco, and dried bay leaf that is bound together by precise tannins that melt away into a focused and elegant finish.
Production Notes
Destemmed and cold soaked for 7 days with daily pump-overs.
7-day fermentation with a mix of delestages, pump-overs and punchdowns for cap management. 14-day total maceration.
