Winemaker's Notes:

 Varietal Content: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7%Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 3% Barbera

The wine is deep red in color with moderate herbal tea, cherry, vanilla and chocolate aromas. Rich, yet approachable tannins, along with mouth-filling cherry flavors provide a long, but smooth finish.
