Based on 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Malbec, the 2020 Pirouette offers more high-toned aromatics of plums, liquid violets, incense, and dark chocolate. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, dense 2020 offering ripe tannins and outstanding length.

The 2020 Pirouette is spicy with a dark and brooding bouquet of musky black currant, grilled herbs, cocoa and ashen stone. This is velvety smooth yet lifted in feel, with a combination of red and blue fruit that flows across a core of juicy acidity. It leaves the palate caked in primary concentration and fine tannins, as a mentholated herbal tinge adds freshness and suggestions of tobacco fade. The Pirouette is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec.

Note of black cherries and mulberries with toasted spices and stones. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy tannins and velvety texture. Meaty and structured with a flavorful finish. 66% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 2% malbec. Drink or hold.
