Tasting Notes: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 5% Petit Verdot. Dark red fruits, with heavy notes of spice, currant, leather, and earth come through. Excellent structure and harmony between the pure fruit core and firm, the supple backbone of polished tannins. Blackberries, sweet tobacco, cedar, and some floral violet nuances define the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a beautiful texture and silky tannins.

Reviews

Ripe cherry and plum skin match with a chalky middle. Tart cranberry aligns with high-toned acidity and undercurrents of balsamic, heather and black cherry add depth. ~91 Tasting Panel Magazine
