Rooted in Sicily and beautifully at home in Oregon, this captivating wine is deeply colored, bold, and richly expressive. Lush dark plum flavors unfold across a velvety palate, while 22 months in our signature Alain Fouquet barrels brings remarkable depth, polish, and balance. A distinctive wine with an unforgettable sense of character.
Unlike our Pinot Noir, these "Big Reds" spend an extended rest in tight-grained Alain Fouquet French oak barrels to allow their big structures to seamlessly integrate. We never "over-vintage" or rush our reds; they are bottled only when the oak, fruit, and tannins have perfectly unified, resulting in big, structurally rich wines that are remarkably smooth and ready to enjoy upon release.
