We fermented and aged the vineyard lots separately in French oak barrels before making the blend.  As usual, we selected our barrels from multiple coopers, again to enhance the layering of flavors produced in the vineyard.

Although this vintage is very typically Mer Soleil, to me it has a burgundian feeling, especially in the "soft” impression of the aromas and the supple, creamy texture.

Tasting notes: Mer Soleil’s signature aromas of tropical fruit (mango, honeysuckle and citrus) with notes of toasted spice (clove, nutmeg).
