FERMENTATION: All fruit for this wine was hand harvested assuring only the best quality. The grapes were gently de-stemmed and transferred to stainless steel tanks for whole berry fermentation. Manual punchdowns and machine pumpovers were conducted two to three times daily. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to a combination of new and second fill French and American oak barrels. After 14 months of aging, the wine was racked, blended and bottled.

TASTING NOTES: Full-bodied and smooth; an immense Merlot with a plush mouth feel and notable length and finish. Deep garnet in color, this full bodied Merlot has aromas of ripe boysenberry, black raspberry and spice that continues onto the palate. A crisp entry with a nice balance of acidity supports intense berry fruit flavours of blackberry and candied raspberry accented by anise and spicy oak
