juicy black berry and boysenberry fruits are upfront on the nose of this bordeaux-style blend of 39% cabernet sauvignon, 22% cabernet franc, 16% merlot, 14% malbec and 9% petit verdot. glimmers of licorice, black pepper and cigar box add depth to the medium-weight palate, while fine yet structured tannins lend length and texture to the ripe-fruited finish. drink now–2019.
