Low-irrigation practices stressed the hillside vines, leading to immensely concentrated fruit that was hand-picked in the early morning hours. The different blocks and varietals were vinified separately, fermenting in open-top tanks before settling into top-of-the-line 100% French oak for 18 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWelcoming aromas of cedar, baking spice, dark berries, eucalyptus, and plum sauce rise from the glass, haloed by graphite and crushed rock.
