Crunchy and fragrant wine, almost vinous, with blackberries and black cherries, flowers, Mediterranean spices and cedar. Medium-bodied, crunchy palate with velvety tannins and a more biting yet fresh finish. A blend of 40% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 10% petit verdot. Drink now.

Reserved aromas give way to flavors of blackberry and plum, plus a hint of bell pepper, in this dense, tightly wound red. Feels balanced and extends with fruit and oak spice notes, so give this a year to unravel a bit more. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2028 through 2040. 19,500 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.

Dark brambly fruit dominate the nose with touches of black minerality. The palate reveals jammy black and red fruit that is framed with bitter edges. The tannins are full and chalky with some more of that bitter jam on the back end.
