Vinification

Fermentation and maceration are carried out separately for each variety, in small stainless steel tanks, combining pumpovers and délestages. Grapes are gently pressed and the wine undergo malolactic fermentation in even smaller stainless steel tanks. When the wine has naturally lost its thickest suspended solids, it is transferred to barrels; each variety separately and in oak of different origins.
Graciano is aged in hand-crafted, fine-grained French oak barrels. Syrah is aged in American oak barrels that enhance the freshness of the wine and its refinement. The wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in the same barrels without racking. Then the wine is blended and bottled without fining.

"A deep, brooding nose with lots of fine oak spices and hazelnuts that adorn the blackberries and violets. Succulent and bright on the palate, with caressing, silky tannins dialing into the black and blue fruit. Quite long and subtle. Delicious now, but can hold, too."

- James Suckling (June 2022), 94 pts

"This enticing wine has aromas of ripe black and red plums with brown baking spices. In the mouth, it is medium to full bodied, with satiny tannins, ripe flavors of raspberry, cassis and dark cherry and a touch of powdered chocolate in the finish. - Mike DeSimone"
