Sweet tobacco and blackcurrants with fresh flower and sandalwood aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture and pretty, bright blackberry and blueberry character. Medium velvety tannins. 54% cabernet sauvignon, 23% malbec, 21% merlot and the rest petit verdot.

Inky black/purple in hue, the 2021 Estate Red is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Malbec, 21% Petit Verdot, and the rest Syrah. The nose slowly reveals notes of tarry earth, black plum compote, and forest herbs. Full-bodied and ripe, it has a plush texture, a good, weightless feel, and a modest but solid finish.
Winemaker Notes
The 2021 Estate Red opens with savory aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, cigar box, and black tea. The palate is dense and rich with layers of dark chocolate and spices, framed by velvety tannins.
Blend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Malbec, 21% Petit Verdot, 2% Syrah
