Fresh raspberries and sour cherries on the nose, and spices such as black pepper and cardamom in the back, mingle with hints of earthiness and herbs redolent of dried thyme and fresh pennyroyal. Medium bodied with a vibrant, textured midpalate. Marked by elegant tannins and balanced acidity, this is a complex, nuanced wine with a long finish.
Benton-Lane Description
Every block of the vineyard was picked individually and kept separate until blending . We soaked each lot for 5 to 7 days before starting fermentation in both small and large vessels, using a combination of selected yeast and native fermentation. The blocks received individual cap management depending on where in the vineyard they came from and their flavor and tannin profile. After a gentle pressing, the wine went through malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels.
