"A charming wine reminiscent more of the Right Bank of Bordeaux than Napa Valley. The nose offers black cherry plum and dried red cherry with notes of well-integrated sweet oak and mocha...In the mouth look for raspberry black cherry and red licorice. The Petite Verdot contributes a graceful top note of verve and spice. Velvet-smooth and long on the finish...optimum drinkability continuing through 2017." Winemaker's Notes
