The Idiom "R" - Rodanico Blend is a highly awarded red wine cuvée in classic Rhône style. Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Viognier create an enticing bouquet here with aromas of ripe cherries, juniper berries, lavender and clove. From medium to full-bodied, savory nuances of plum and exotic spices tantalize the palate, paired with supple and velvety tannins that fade into a lingering and lush finish for an elegant experience.

The Viognier was fermented 40% in stainless steel tanks and 60% in new 225-liter French oak barrels (including completion of malolactic fermentation). Shiraz and Mourvèdre received a four-day cold maceration prior to separate fermentation in stainless steel tanks and then completed malolactic fermentation in 225-liter oak barrels (70% new wood). The wines were then blended and finally aged for 12 months in barrels of 40 merican oak and 60 rancian oak.
