Description
Harvested in small lots and kept separate through fermentation and aging, the components of our 2019 Stormwatch matured for 18 months in 89% French oak barrels. The black-violet hue of this complex wine is a tip o to the aromas of blackberries, black currants and dark plum that arise from the glass. The powerful mid-palate reveals similar fruit flavors joined by dark chocolate and vanilla with a touch of thyme. Earth, oak and spice notes add to the appeal of this well-balanced red wine, which ends in a persistent finish and warm, silky tannins.
