Winemaking Notes:

Our deepest,   darkest   Le  Sol yet.   Opaque core,   with irridescent rim.  The earth, fruits and florals all get expression  here; scorched  earth,  dark  plum,  aniseed, thyme and lavender marry for an incredibly intense complex bouquet.  The palate is multi-layered with dry granite-like tannins, tempered by succulent ripe fruit and integrated oak notes.  Almost blueberry pie richness but with the cut of structural acid and tannin.  Our best yet.
