The nose reveals aromas of juicy fresh strawberries and raspberries with hints of menthol. The palate is filled with flavors of ripe plums and bright cherries as well as floral tones of rose and hints of honeysuckle. Chewy tannins are framed by lively acids. The finish is long and spicy with notes of nutmeg and black licorice, followed by lingering white pepper and tobacco.
A mild and dry winter was followed by an abundance of rainfall in the spring, returning the groundwater to healthy levels. Summer was filled with warm days, and nights that cooled off dramatically – preserving acidity and aromatics. Harvest began with Merlot on September 14th and finished the last of the Cabernet Sauvignon on October 12th.
Blend: 41% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot
A perfumed nose of wild berries, dark cherries, plums, undergrowth, graphite and some dark chocolate. Full-bodied with fine tannins. The palate is creamy with texture and balance. Flavorful finish with excellent length. Best after 2025.
Spiced aromas of roasted sage, black cherry liqueur, and cedar emerge from the 2020 Il Fauno di Arcanum, which is composed of 41% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and a splash of Petit Verdot. It is approachable and full-bodied, with generous fruit through the mid-palate, and reveals a silky texture with fine tannins. This is a solid and easy drinking wine to drink 2023-2030.
