Our estate vineyard is planted to a proprietary blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, in a sand-based Haire clay loam soil on a slight eastern-facing slope. We harvest at the pinnacle of phenolic ripeness to ensure a lush, concentrated, and structured red wine that will age for over a decade. We manually sort the fruit for quality, and ferment in stainless steel tanks for an extended period. The young wine then ages twenty-two months in all new French oak barrels. Delicately sweet blackberry flavors with notes of soft leather and tobacco, coccoa and dark roast coffee that lingers on the finish. Age this one in your cellar -- Best after 2025.
Recipe suggestions: "Duck a la Sean" -- Seared Duck Breast with Cherries, available here.
