The first release of a premium reserve wine. Harvested from organically certified fields in Lodi (Lodi Rules) from August to October, various cuvées are blended. Pressed and returned to tanks to complete fermentation (not mixed with skins until the end, resulting in a mild flavor). Aged for about 4-6 months in French and American barrels (new and used for several years). Vibrant and rich aromas of dark cherry, coffee, and cassis continue. Juicy black fruit, creamy mouthfeel, mellow tannins, and hints of mocha and coffee are impressive. Goes well with meat dishes, steaks, yakiniku, and barbecues.
