“Vinolocity”

“Vinolocity” Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: Ahhh, Raspberry & Mulberry spiked with lavender & sandalwood, finishing with lush spice and hints of rose petals. Ripe tannins fill out the mid-palate as well as indicate aging potential & a future in the cellar. This blend has the largest amount of Syrah we've had between the 03' 04' & 05' vintages, which contributes to the rich color and voluptuous body of the wine. This is also the smallest production year we've had from this exceptional vineyard. The Grenache & Syrah were crushed leaving 30% of the clusters whole, into small open top fermentors & punched down 3 times a day by hand for 12 days. We basket pressed the young wine into 7 barrels, 1 of which was new, accounting for 14% of the cooperage blend. After 11 months, we bottled sans fining or filtration.
