Covenant Neshama 2015 |
This is a richly textured wine, replete with lush, round tannins that frame a multi-layered display of dark red fruit flavors. Blackberry, cassis, plum and black cherry come to mind, all laced with an appealing spice quality. The finish is long, lush and lingering.
While tasting through barrel lots from the 2015 vintage, we selected a small number of our favorite barrels to create a unique red blend that reflects the highlights of the vintage. This wine has a new label and a new name: Neshama.
The Petit Verdot showed such exceptional color and depth, we have used it as the core element. The Malbec married beautifully with the Petit Verdot. And to add a bit more intensity, we added a small amount of Syrah from our stellar Moaveni vineyard in Bennett Valley.
