Winemaker's Notes:
Composed of the top five red varieties used in Bordeaux, this medium-to-full bodied blend demonstrates complexity on the nose and palate.
Aromas of candied red and black cherry are underscored by a bouquet of
warm toasted oak, rich loam, and dried brush. The flavors show mocha
and black fruit up front, baked ham and open-flame grilling in the middle,
and a persistent finish of ripe fruit, sweet oak, and freshly-ground baking
spices. It has a lush, pleasing mouthfeel with smooth texture, lively acidity
and tannins that are dusty yet fine-grained. |
