Vineyard Notes
Given the clandestine nature of our acquisition of this fruit, I really can’t speak to the location or the name of the vineyard. It is in the Stag’s Leap district and that is all I can say. If I say more, I run the risk of never being offered the fruit again. Please enjoy this cult Merlot.
Production
We picked this epic fruit on October 5th, 2014. We crushed it all into macro bins and gave it a five day cold soak before we pulled it out into the sun to warm up. We inoculated it using CSM which is my favorite yeast to use on Bordeaux varietals. After a healthy 18 day fermentation we pressed it off and let it settle off gross lees. We racked down to 80% new French Oak including some of my favorite cooperages like Ermitage, Taransaud and Seguin Moreau. I inoculated the barrels with malolactic bacteria and rested in oak for two years before bottling.
Wine Maker Comments
Beautiful aromas of cherry cola, jalapeno and blueberry emphatically greet your nose followed by lovely flavors of cherry, milk chocolate, plum, black tea, pipe tobacco and a soft strawberry finish.
