Made with grapes left for an extended time on the vine, Herzog has produced a fine wine showing rich notes of plum and blackberry, a warm, jam-filled nose, and a tannic yet soft mouth-feel. Aging for 18 months in small French oak barrels imparts a vanilla-toasty finish. Pairing exceptionally well with grilled lamb, roasted duck, and rich stews, this wine is only lightly filtered to retain its outstanding character. As such, sediment may appear as it ages.
