A sleek, racy red, with hints of iron and mesquite smoke underscoring ripe red and black currant, rosehip, fig cake and Earl Grey tea leaf flavors. Fresh and full-bodied, shows a tightly-knit core of sculpted tannins that firm the chewy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2030. 2,175 cases made, 250 cases imported.

Plums, mulberries, dark cherries, cloves and dried herbs on the nose. Some soy sauce and roasted meat, too. Full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Polished, rich and velvety. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 20% shiraz, 5% merlot, 5% cabernet franc, 5% malbec and 5% petit verdot. Drink or hold.
