and, finally, the mourvedre in mid April. The yield for all varieties
was less than 2.5 tons per acre.

the wine was aged in new and used oak barrels for 12 months and
given a final filtration before bottling.
Tasting Notes

The wine derives spiciness from the mourvedre, richness from the
shiraz and berry flavors from the cabernet.
