Grapes sourced from the famous Benito Dusi Vineyard are hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed: fermented on native yeasts and aged in 11 months in 100% air-dried American oak barrels. The wine is a deep garnet color, with aromas of black cherry, plum, pepper and toasted oak. Ripe cherry fruit and rich tannins carry the medium-full body over the palate. The finish is long and spicy.
