Blackberries, blackcurrants and hints of mint. Full-bodied with very fine, velvety tannins. Turns firm and structured with a fine chewiness and a caressing mouth-feel. Lively, too. 77% cabernet sauvignon and 15% merlot, the rest petit verdot and cabernet franc. Very attractive now, but will be better in four to five years. Try after 2026.

Serious and sophisticated, this opulent wine drips with concentrated blueberries, black cherries and dark chocolate on a massive frame of tannins that is surprisingly velvety and enticing. Subtle oak spices like graphite, espresso and crema add tasty nuances. Katie Vogt blended this beauty from 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, plus Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025-2035.
