A juicy, generous, fluid quality makes this full-bodied wine accessible and easy to sip. Attractive raspberry and red cherry aromas are followed by blackberry, sage and black olive nuances on the palate. Gentle tannins. Drink now or hold.

A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, and 2% Merlot, sourced from St. Supéry’s 202-hectare Dollarhide Estate Vineyard in Napa’s northeastern hills and their Rutherford Estate Vineyard. Crafted by winemaker Michael Scholz, this is an easy-drinking 2022 with sweet black currant, fig, mocha, tobacco, and sweet cedar. Gentle tannins glide effortlessly over the palate, leading to a finish of tart black cherry, more tobacco, sage, and wet stone minerality. A versatile, food-friendly wine, best enjoyed alongside brisket or burgers.
