Wine Description:
Their penultimate Zin of the vintage yielded a modest but flawless 3.3 tons from 1.75 acres. The fruit was fully destemmed and cold soaked for five days before beginning an uninoculated fermentation, which proceeded smoothly. After 21 days on the skins, the wine was gently pressed into all French oak barrels, with 20% being new. True to their style, the wine was left unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural character and depth.
Pros:
