"A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon Petite Verdot Malbec Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The wine is barreled down into discrete barrel lots and aged in French Oak barrels for twenty months. Characterized by aromas and rich flavors of dark fruits-black cherry cassis and sun ripened blackberries-balanced by a dense layer of chocolate and roasted coffee and sweet oak character. A wine of power and finesse; full bodied yet supple; approachable in its youth but capable of extended bottle age." 97 Points Wine and Spirits Guild of America
