Description
Reflective of the winery’s ability to combine power with elegance, the 2014 vintage of The Investor is rich in dark purple fruit but also captivating for its notes of tea leaf, roasting spices of sage and rosemary with touches of chaparral herbs, cinnamon and clove on the nose. It’s an instant palate pleaser with generous, concentrated flavors of blackberry, blueberry, plum, black cherry, strawberry and fine-grained, soft tannins and a juicy, mouthwatering acidity.
WINEMAKING NOTES
Maceration and fermentation followed suit for each of the varieties, which allowed Winemaker Christophe Paubert to monitor and evaluate the lots individually, coaxing each varietal to its maximum potential. The wine aged in oak for 18 months – the Petite Sirah in American oak barrels (25% new), while the Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec went to French oak (35% new). The final assemblage was blended just prior to bottling.
