Fermented in one ton punch down bins for almost four weeks. ML took place in newer French oak barrel s, where the wine was aged for 18 months prior to bottling. Plum jam and currant aromas mingle with cumin and sun dried tomato; on the palate layered textures reveal deep savory flavors of black plum and black cherry, crushed fennel seeds, and in the finish cumin and turmeric tones carried by elegant tannins.
