As the above allures to – we develop and create this wine in the vineyard, and with careful and diligent handling that helps us produce this unique wine through the fermentation process. During the next year and a half this wine was aged in French oak to develop additional nuances and texture. Tiny amounts of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Verdot were blended into the Malbec for complexity and balance while at the same time showcasing that very special place ‘Rockpile’. The blending of Petite Verdot brings a pretty floral, a blue fruit component to the blend, that with Malbec’s bright fruitiness and vibrance accentuates both the nose and palate. The Cabernet Sauvignon component is for additional depth and structure.
