This wine offers deep aromas and delicious flavors of ripe blackberries, violets, chocolate, toasty vanilla, tar and spice. Untypical of many of today’s Petite Sarah’s, this wine is round, smooth and displays rich tannins that leads to long, lingering finish.

The grapes for this wine were hand harvested from October 5th, 2020 and were crushed  into open top fermentors and allowed to cold soak for 3 days before the start of  fermentation. After a long, slow fermentation, the wine was aged for 35 months in 20% new French Burgundy, American, and Eastern European oak, softening the tannins and adding length and complexity to the wine.
