Seeing the addition of Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, this teeth-grabber aged 16 months in Hungarian and American oak.

Tasting Notes

A vibrant purple hue hints at the wine’s depth and richness. The nose is inviting, revealing a complex bouquet of leather and cedar, intermingled with dark fruits like blackberry and a touch of cranberry. On the palate, flavors of ripe plum come to the forefront while baking spices and a hint of herbal character adds an intriguing layer of complexity. The finish is both balanced and long. A slightly drying sensation lingers, inviting another sip.
