Tasting Notes
Big red cherries and loganberries leap out of the glass. A distinct, bark-like cinnamon combines with the classic forest floor notes to give the wine a sylvan scent. The fruit is juicy, almost crunchy on the palate, and the high acid keeps the wine lithe across the tongue. A long finish of cracked allspice berries, dry leaves, crushed rocks, and a touch of white pepper all speak this wine's aging potential.

Fermentation took approximately 12-16 days in an open top 5 ton fermentation tank and the wine was then racked to barrels.
