made from a slightly smaller percentage (81%) of estate fruit, with the intention of being approachable earlier, this wine has 19% blended in from oakville ranch, knightsbridge and young inglewood, including 2% each of malbec and cabernet franc. it jumps from the glass with yeasty black and red berry, a leathery, velvety mouthfeel and a fist of black pepper. delicious now it should also age well, intense but bright in acidity.
