It’s a rich and deep blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Sirah and Merlot plus Grenache and Mourvedre. Cab’s blackcurrant, blackberry, fig, and cured tobacco character is very much front and center. Certainly 16 months in very high-end French oak gave the wine a nice, smooth, sheen and added some spice.  Deep purple in the glass, where it serves up deep aromas of red currant, black raspberry and plum with accents of dark chocolate, smoke, spice and subtle herb. 

The big, bold, flavors showcase that lovely rich fruit with extra complexity from notes of sweet tobacco, black licorice, mocha, cedar and spice. It’s mouthfilling, for sure, but not heavy or thick, with firm but smooth tannins giving shape and length to the mocha, violet, and ripe fruit flavored finish. Enjoy right now as a terrific cookout/steak Cab blend and don’t be afraid to hold on to some for a while as it improves for 4-6 years.
