Each year, we draw from the most distinctive barrels from the top lots of each variety to decide the final blend for this outstanding wine.

Body
Appearance
Bright with a deeply concentrated purple/ruby core that lightens at the rim, with persistent, thick, slow-forming tears that stain the glass as they form.
Aroma
Aromatic with notes of baked black cherry, ripe blackberry, and juicy black plum, with suggestions of toasted oak and vanilla followed by dried violet and subtle mint notes.
Palate
Full-bodied with smooth baked blackberry, mission fig, and black currant flavors on the entry. The savory, complex midpalate features dried herbs, cedar, and wild mushroom followed by saddle leather and exotic toasted spice notes carried by balanced freshness and abundant velvety tannins that lead to a long, complex finish of sustained ripe berries, barrel spice, and a fresh herbal note.
