All our grape varieties started to ripen at the same time making it one of our most compact vintages to date. Vine-balance was carefully monitored, resulting in fruit that demonstrate the vibrancy and fruit-derived characters that we strive for in our wines.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tWinemaking Report: Fermentation took place over 10 - 12 days in a combination of open and static fermenters. The temperature was closely monitored to ensure the wine retains its natural fruit expression. New and older French and American oak was used for the maturation of selected wine parcels over a period of 13 months. These parcels were put together from our family estate to best demonstrate the depth and character of our fruit, balanced by integrated oak.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tTasting Notes: Lifted spice and ripe mulberry\/blackberry aromas are complimented with chocolate, cedar and cinnamon on the nose. Well-integrated oak tannin provides flavors of clove and supple texture, which supports the rich plum, blackberry and mocha. The overall structure is supple and generous with fine-grained tannin and a lingering finish.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"Deep garnet color. Aromas of cherry pie, mocha, and eucalyptus with a satiny, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a long, savory sundried tomato and cracked pepper accented finish.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003e- Beverage Testing Institute (November 14th 2011), 88 pts\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tWORLD WINE CHAMPIONSHIPS AWARD: Silver Medal BEST BUY \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jip Jip Rocks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948721008687,"sku":"A0EE156036SZL","price":10.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/a0ee156036szl.gif?v=1771482886","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/jip-jip-rocks-shiraz-2010","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
