Winemaker Notes
The graceful power of this wine greets you on the nose with aromas of ripe blueberries, fresh cracked pepper, leather and clove. The complexity on the nose carries through in the mouth. The velvety tannins are sleek and balanced by a delicate acid frame that leads into a long finish of ripe fruit and notes of toast.
At the winery, the handpicked fruit was destemmed and placed into small fermentors where they were punched down two or three times a day during fermentation to gently extract color and tannin. Once the optimal level of tannin was extracted, the wine was drained and the skins gently pressed. The wine was then racked to barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation and 24 months of aging in French and American oak. Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot

Wine Enthusiast
Here is a well-built, Bordeaux-style blend based largely upon Cabernet Sauvignon, with 12% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot filling it out. Firm, dark and muscular, this mixes tart black fruit flavors with streaks of licorice and peppery herbs.
