Aromas on the nose carry elegantly to the palate as flavors with tertiary aging characteristics taking the lead.

Another Mendel offering done in a French style but with ripe Mendoza fruit.

This wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (first use 33%, second use 33, third use 33%).

850 cases made.
