done in the very dry, herbally infused santa cruz mountains style, this blend of 52% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 8% cabernet franc offers cohesive aromas of black cherry, oregano, gravel and graphite. the mouthfeel is soft but with a tannic tension, showing tart and cedar-laced black plum, elderberry, bittersweet chocolate and tobacco flavors.
