Despite the intense heat, the grapes ripened with characteristically high acidity. For perfect balance, we chose a small quantity of traditional Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Carmenere)' ' to round out the wine. Knowing it was dense and dark, we felt the flavor profile would match up nicely with American oak. While not aged in whiskey barrels, the cooper we chose for this wine is a famed Kentucky whiskey barrel producer that makes wine barrels on the side. Vanilla, caramel, and mocha are all elements that interplay nicely with the rich, concentrated fruit. Tasting Notes: Inky purple color with aromas and flavors of dark fruit, violets, and caramel with chewy tannins.
