This resulted in grapes with excellent acidity levels and intense fruit expression. Following maceration and fermentation, we matured the wine in a combination of new and second use French oak barrels (Boutes and Saury) for 16 months. We blended 95% Malbec together with 5% Cabernet Franc to round out the intensity and character of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine has been further bottle aged and provides a deliciously smooth finish with wonderful complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvides a captivating bouquet of freshly crushed black cherries and plums, which elegantly evolve into a complex combination of plums, wildflowers, and notes of graphite.
