DIV-CAL Limited / A-Wines California

Deep black cherry in colour, it has a complex bouquet with cooked black fruits, blueberries, vanilla, caramel and a touch of smoke. It is medium to full bodied with some grippy tannins enhanced by a tart blackberry acidity. It is concentrated with sour fruit flavours and vanilla becoming more savoury with some aeration. The vineyard, planted in 1922 and located due west of the winery, has been farmed by the Marcucci family for six generations. Grapes were fermented in open top tanks with punching down of the skins by hand. The wine was matured in American oak barrels for 20 months.
