This 32 month in oak is a 50/50 splitting of two barrels that winemaker Kelly Mason thought would make a great Reserve; so she transferred half of each barrel into a new barrel and waited and extra 12 months (total of 32). Resulting in a very cool climate Franc with all the herbal, smoky nuances that go with it; you’ll also find some fruit complexity with raspberry, cassis, pepper, spice and hints of cinnamon and vanilla creeping in. It’s pricy but with only 25 cases (300 bottles) available it’s a rarity you’ll want to put your hands on.
