| Notes | "This wine consists of all five red Bordeaux varieties, with 54% Cabernet Sauvignon making up the majority. A juicy front palate of cassis and blueberry leads to leathery, dusty tannins and notes of graphite, cedar and tea." (Wine Enthusiast) "Offers good blackcurrant fruit, new saddle leather, and toasty vanillin from the oak (about 40% is new). This attractive, medium-bodied, refreshing, Bordeaux-style wine should drink nicely for at least a decade." (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "Tilts toward the savory side of Cabernet. Dry and herbal, with mint, oregano and dried berry nuances at the core. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2019 through 2027. 5,149 cases made." (Wine Spectator) |
