Wine Details
Price:
$21.99 per bottle
Description:
Located on the slopes surrounding High Valley, the Round Mountain volcano and Monte
Lago vineyards are naturally stressed by the rocky, well-drained soils. Grapes from Syrah Noir, Estrella, and 877 clones were allowed to hang to full maturity for maximum ripeness and tannin softening. Following a 10-day stainless steel fermentation for maximum fruit extraction and concentration, the fruit was pressed at dryness to avoid drawing out potentially coarse, harsh tannins.
Tasting notes: With its beautiful opaque, purple hue, the wine has forward ripe plum and boysenberry aromas. The complexity and density include nuances of cassis, cedar, and a touch of leather on the palate within a harmonious tannic structure. ‘Silky’ and ‘velvety’ best describe the body of this wine that can be enjoyed young, but also has ageing potential.
