The Story
The wine was 100% barrel fermented in 86% French oak (20% new.) 100% of the blend underwent secondary malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine was stirred every three weeks as it aged 6 months on the lees.
This is impressive. I overhead a customer in the shop giving it a huge wrap and have to say he was not wrong. It's a full powered style. Rich and creamy, butter scotch, soft oak. Really well priced for US wine in Oz and would not hesitate to recommend as an "impact" wine.
