2015 F in Red
2015 F in Red
Tasting Notes
The dazzling garnet color first grabs hold of your attention. Beautiful swirls of wine dance in the glass, releasing enticing aromas of dark fruits, cocoa powder, sweet leather, violet and wild herbs. Persistent and layered flavors of black cherry, roasted espresso, toasty oak and graphite harmoniously excite the senses. The fine, almost powder like, tannin provide structure and balance. Produced in small volume, but mighty in stature, this 2015 offering is one which can be savored today or aged for years to come.Vineyard Notes
Sourced primarily from our Fleury Estate owned and farmed vineyard located in Rutherford, Napa Valley, this beautifully manicured vineyard sits aside the winery in which the wonderful wine was crafted. There is little dispute that Rutherford’s climate and terrior create characteristics unique to wine from this region. Planted amongst the valley floor, with rows running east and west, the vineyard produces rich and full-flavored wines, with beautiful chocolate notes. The location provides ideal sun exposure during the day which helps to develop the lush, intense fruit one would expect from such a magnificent property.Production Notes
