Winemaker Notes

Bright with a purple/ruby core that lightens at the rim, with thick, heavy, moderately stained tears on the glass. Aromatic with ripe fruit aromas of black plum, dried fig, and blackcurrant, leading into barrel aging notes of vanilla, cigar box, cinnamon, and clove. Additional hints of lilac blossoms and camphor add complexity. Full-bodied with ripe black cherry, boysenberry, and black olive flavors on the entry that transition into savory notes of dried leaves, herbes de Provence, and cured meat with persistent well-integrated tannins. The long finish is highlighted by smooth, balanced fruit with barrel spice, smoky black tea, and toasted oak flavors.

Blend: 54% Syrah, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon
