Those dramatic day-to-night temperature shifts allow the grapes to develop deep color and concentrated fruit while retaining balancing acidity. After harvest, the wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels — a dual-oak approach that layers toasty vanilla from the American staves alongside the subtler spice and structure contributed by French cooperage.
