The grapes for this delicious Bordeaux-inspired blend come from several of our most prized estate and hillside vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley. At first swirl, the wine displays aromas of black currant, black cherry and dried cranberry. Several more minutes reveal hints of white pepper, cumin, mocha and violet. The palate has dark berry flavors along with earthy complexity and savory tones. It finishes with notes of baking spices, dried herbs and vanilla. Good acidity will help this wine to age beautifully for years to come.

This is a Bordeaux-style blend that leads with 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 8% Malbec and smaller amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Thick, juicy black fruit, oak and tannin give it a powerful and grippy core, finishing in rich hints of baking spice and vanilla.
