Description

RP, named after Robyn Pamela, matriarch of the Farr family, sources its fruit from the meticulously managed Côte Vineyard. This close-planted, exposed slope boasts select clones, rootstocks, and trellising. Handpicked and vineyard-sorted, the fruit undergoes open-top fermentation. About 40-50% is destemmed and cold soaked for four days. Aging in 50-60% new Allier French oak barrels extends for 18 months.

A deep, dark red with slight black edges and a vibrant dark red hue. Aromas of violets, red and dark cherries, and a hint of sour cherries mingle with dried clove, meatiness, stalk, and spicy cedar. Powerful yet light, the palate evokes a Burgundian flavor profile. Savory red and dark cherry notes interweave with strawberry, subtle dried clove, meaty nuances, and cedar spice. Velvety tannins underlie a rich texture, concealed by expansive flavors. The finish is enduring, featuring sour to dark cherry, strawberry, clove, meat, subtle stalk, and cedar notes. An exceptional wine.

Tasting Profile

Palate
This wine is pretty and so very perfumed. The cote sites simply produce amazing smoothness and calmness that stretches the length of the palate as with the GC. Abundance of fruit leading to fine and detailed tannin structure.
