Text Box: Aromas of dark chocolate and plum precede flavors of black cherry, chocolate and nutmeg, with undertones of sage and notes of oak vanillin.  

A rare and almost forgotten Bordeaux variety, carmenere is an exotic beauty similar to merlot, with a masculine streak of tobacco and earth.  It thrives in the mistral climate and sandy soils of north Paso Robles.   Aged sur lies for sixteen months in a combination of new and neutral French oak.  Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Only 2 barrels produced.
