this blend of cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and syrah initially smells cool and earthy, then more woody, spicy and animal-like. on the palate, this is concentrated and deep, with milder tannins than the winery's varietal petit verdot. flavors of blackberry and cassis are powerful, while burnt wood, bitter chocolate and peppery flavors drive a muscular finish. drink now through 2020.
