Inky purple red. Aromas of black currant, licorice, along with hints of clove and vanilla. This wine is silky smooth, with a deeply structured backbone of fine grain tannins and a long bright finish.
Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc

Brambly raspberry spices up the aromatics; dusted rose petal tannins play into a graphite “tightness.” It eventually relaxes into espresso savoriness and a spotlight of regal dark fruit—tart and earthbound—with a slate finish. Structure abounds, but the finish of cranberry-pomegranate favors the sumptuous expression of the region’s terroir.
