Seeing the addition of Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, this teeth-grabber aged 16 months in Hungarian and American oak. Basil-seasoned plum and black cherry dominate the palate along with notes of tomato leaf, cinnamon, cedar, and milk chocolate while meeting up with superfine tannins, rounding out the wine's richness.

This richly extracted Cabernet offers aromas of black plum, cherry and cocoa powder on the nose, giving way to flavors of blackberry compote, caramel, mint and black pepper on the palate before a silky-smooth finish with echoes of minerality and spice.

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.
