Fermented in concrete and aged for 14 months in one-quarter new French oak, this wine sneaks up on you. Anyone who has tasted wines direct from concrete will note that they often have a certain flavor of concrete, or mineral if you will, and a nice texture to the mouthfeel. That's here, along with tight pomegranate fruit and plenty of acid. But the barrel aging shows also, coming up in the finish as a ring of butterscotch around the fruit.
