Lovely sweet Grenache florals, musky perfume overlain with just a hint of cedar toast from the oak.  The initial impact in the mouth is a flood of sweet fruit, rich but with some fine tannins to match.  The mix of both sweet fruit and cedar/spice is apparent all the way through the profile of the wine as it sits in your mouth.  Will be an elegant and gentle long term sleeper.

The normal Charles Melton melange of techniques: whole bunch fermentation, along with de-stemmed but uncrushed fruit.  The cap management techniques used included pigeage & hand-plunging, as well as daily pump-overs throughout the 10-day fermentation.  A combination of French and American oak barriques were selected to provide an oak balance in the resulting wine.  No fining agents are used in the production of our wines.
