471508Crafted from air-dried premium Merlot in the Amarone-style "passito" method.
Tasting Notes: An enchanting and strikingly unique wine, crafted by reserving some of our finest Merlot grapes in select vintages and air-drying them to the point of raisining. The resulting wine is incredibly potent and concentrated, and bear an unrivaled potential for cellaring.
Dark plum and fig, chocolatey and rich. Bears a bit of spice and massively concentrated fruit tones, like sticky toffee pudding. Huge tannin on the pallet, requires decanting to fully shine and open into great complexity.
