"A full-bodied yet elegant and lifted blend comprising 36% cabernet sauvignon, 25% petit verdot, 13% cabernet franc, 13% malbec and 13% merlot. Red and blue fruit on the nose with underlying floral and sweet spice notes. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins, balanced acidity and lingering notes of blackberries, cocoa, cedar and cloves. Drink or hold."

"Aromas of cherry pit and crushed almond are followed by flavors of black fruits, pine tar and an attractive smokiness. Rustic and pleasurable, this red blend is both captivating and surprising. It feels like a classic expression of old Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blends with a mouthwatering palate and lightly grippy tannins. Delicious. —E.C.B."
