Wow. This shows super concentration and clarity of fruit but at the same time it's not overpowering. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a caressing, pretty finish. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Better in 2017.

Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a drop of Petit Verdot, this deeply colored wine offers aromas black plum, dried cherry and clove. The round, ripe palate doles out mature black cherry, blackberry, licorice and black pepper alongside firm, chewy tannins.
