Orofino 2021 Red Bridge 750ml

Approachable and showing notes of luscious dark fruits and cocoa with a hint of desert sage. Soft, juicy tannins. Enjoyable upon release but will age gracefully if cellared.

The grapes were hand harvested and gently destemmed and crushed into small open-top fermenters. Various yeasts were used to increase complexity. The fermenters were hand-punched 2 times daily. After fermentation the wine was pressed and put into mostly older or neutral French oak barrels, with just 10% new American oak being used. The components were blended and then bottled without any fining or filtration. Vegan friendly.
