Treana Red Blend 2020

The Treana Red blend continues to be a great source of pride for the Hope Family. Known for its depth of character and balancing finesse, this wine possess enticing aromas of cassis, clove and vanilla bean. On the pallet, warming flavors of dark fruit, burnt sugar and baking spices mingle with a hint of leather.  The wine finishes with full bodied tannins that delicately linger.
After harvest, vineyard lots were fermented individually in stainless-steel tanks for 14 to 20 days. Carefully managed pump overs and extended macerations enhanced the extraction of color and tannin. The varietals were aged separately for 16 months in French oak barrels, of which 25% were once used and 25% were twice used. The initial blend was assembled in January of 2022 and barrel-aged an additional 3 months in 100% new French oak. The wine was racked only twice during its cellar life, with the final racking occurring just prior to bottling.
