Wine Maker Notes:
Torrent = A rushing or abundant and unceasing stream; a deluge. This best describes our new proprietary red wine blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, a “Torrent” of aroma and flavor. It starts with cascading aromas of black licorice, blackberry and espresso. A silky mouth feel, a deluge of chocolate and coffee lead into an outpouring of plum and tobacco for a long, smooth finish.
This is a serious, dry and well-structured wine with lots of dark-fruit flavors and firm tannins. It has tempting black cherry aromas and black currant flavors, a full body and a mouth-filling lightly astringent texture that will pair well with rich food.
Aging:
18 Months in a blend of French Oak, American Oak, and our Winemaker's proprietary blended barrel mix.
