Wine Profile

Production Notes:

At Brassfield Estate, our winemaking emphasizes quality and the use of traditional handcrafted techniques, which create wines that have both power and finesse. We used aerative pump overs in stainless tanks to keep primary fermentation healthy. After sending wines to 25% new French Oak and 75% neutral barrels, we allowed our wines to undergo natural malolactic fermentation in our caves. The wine aged in barrel for 14 months before bottling.

Tasting Notes:

Beautifully integrated oak and firm structure combine with Bordeaux profile aromas to create a superbly balanced wine. Aromas of black cherries and cinnamon highlight a palate ripe with juicy raspberry and blueberry. Accents of toasted baguette, mocha and fresh cedar carry through the finish.
