2018 Kelter Wines Saint Laurent - Ricci Vineyard - Los Carneros - Late Release
This Saint Laurent is from a single block with gravely clay loam at the Ricci Vineyard. It was 70% de-stemmed to whole berries with an addition of 30% whole-cluster before it underwent a five-day cold soak. The fermentation lasted 21 days, followed by a gentle pressing and transferred to neutral French barrels.
Bright cherries, plum, pomegranate and spice aromas. Elegant, soft round tannins with full structure and balanced acidity.
Some things truly need time to reveal their finest qualities, and the 2018 Saint Laurent is no exception. This late release captivates with a popping aroma of Maraschino cherries, inviting you to explore its delicate, perfectly balanced taste. Aged for 17 months in neutral French oak barrels with minimal intervention, this wine showcases the purest expression of its varietal. With a modest 11.5% alcohol content, it is both versatile and approachable, pairing beautifully with a broad selection of vegetarian and meat dishes—or simply enjoyed on its own during a relaxing evening. A true testament to patience and craftsmanship.
