TASTING NOTES
What's in the Glass
- PAIRS WITH
- Red Meat · Grilled Meat · Grilled · Steak
98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot. Lush and fleshy, with cassis, boysenberry, and blackberry notes guided by hints of alder and mesquite. Stays open but defined through the finish, with a buried hint of sweet tobacco. A rich, layered beast, this has a nose rife with currants, blackberries, vanilla, and light toast with flavors of mocha, plum, and Bing cherry that mingle harmoniously on the tongue.
