Hand-harvested in the cool early morning hours, the fruit is immediately subjected to rigorous selection by our three-tiered sorting process. This includes our cutting-edge optical sorter to eliminate less-than-perfect berries, cold soaks lasting approximately five days, and fermentations managed by pump-overs.

Enticing aromas of crushed blackberries and cassis are complemented by dark chocolate and grilled beef. Black licorice, cocoa powder, and espresso add complexity to this opulent wine. Exceptional concentration and a rich mouthfeel create a powerful impression that finishes with polished tannins a hallmark of Stags Leap District vineyards.
