Acaibo Red Blend

Description

”The grapes on our estate enjoyed a long hang time with warm days and cool nights that led to a mid October pick. We welcome you to share this new venture with us Trinite Estate and the wine we lovingly call Acaibo a proud blend of our French tradition with a very American spirit of adventure. Our ambition is to create a wine of sophistication and grace that perfectly captures the vast complexity in soil and climate found throughout Sonoma County.HarvestHand picked harvest night time /early morning pickings Meticulous berry sorting.Maturation This first edition of Acaibo was aged for a little more than one year in French Oak barrels, around 60% of which was new.Vinification Small lot fermentation in thermo regulated stainless steel tanks with 4 days of cold soak followed by alcoholic fermentation. MLF follows in barrelSoil Clay, gravel and volcanic ash soils.Tasting Notes Classic claret nose. Translucent dark red, fresh/subtle oak scent, fresh berries not currants, immediately and intensely tempting. No crashing entry, just crisp and invigorating at first, then more plummy, intriguing hints of spice, mouthfilling without force, gracefully tailored on the rear view. Hard to resist, light in touch and heart; much more Bordeaux than California in spirit. Bravo!” – Trinite Estate
