2014 resume
Weather conditions:
The 2014 growing season began with a mild and relatively wet spring, encouraging early and even vine development. Summer was cooler and unsettled, slowing ripening and raising concerns over maturity. However, a warm, dry and sunny period from September through October provided ideal conditions for a long, gradual ripening, allowing the grapes to reach good balance and phenolic maturity.
Tasting notes:
Deep ruby in color with a subtle garnet rim. The nose is expressive and complex, revealing ripe blackberry, cassis, red cherry and dried cranberry layered with notes of fig, prune, cedar, cigar box and dried herbs. On the palate, it is dry with high acidity, medium-plus body and fine-grained, well-integrated tannins, offering richness and breadth, culminating in a long, silky finish.

Tasting notes:
Deep ruby in color, reflecting both richness and elegance.
