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.
