Description
WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
This wine exudes beautiful and varied fruit notes – red and black cherry, cassis – with a really juicy character balanced by fresh acidity and complexity. The entry is vibrant and silky opening to a round midpalate with nice weight, where darker notes prevail – black cherry, black licorice, hint of tobacco, dark chocolate, culinary bay.
TASTING NOTES:
Aromas of red and black fruit with touches of flowers, graphite and dried herbs. The palate is mid-weighted with drying tannins, a plush mouthfeel, bright acidity and a savory edge. It’s approachable and supple. Made from 50% cabernet sauvignon, 23% petit sirah, 19% cabernet franc, 5% sangiovese and 3% merlot. Drink or hold.
