Dark ruby in color with reddish rim.

Fruity nose with red and black fruits, cedar, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, herbs, light earth and black pepper.

Full bodied, elegant and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates, earth, light vegetables, herbs and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Merlot blend is at its peak now, and needs a couple of hours to open up. Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

A great Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Elegant and tangy.

A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

A blend of 49% Merlot, 18% Syrah, 15% Petit Verdot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

15% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (51%) and Shiraz (49%). Dark Ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas and flavors of cassis, blueberry, eucalyptus, black licorice, bergamot, dark chocolate, violets and blackberry. Hint of roasted nuts on the expansive finish. Wonderful purity of fruit and a very soft texture for such a young wine. Incredibly well balanced. This wine will only improve with age. Taking @Bob McDonald’s advice and investing in more of this beautiful wine and laying them down in the cellar for a decade. A great example of how Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are fantastic blending partners. Thanking you so much Keith S for sharing this wonderful bottle with us. — 5 months ago

Dark ruby hue. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, earthy, leather, pepper, plum. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acidity. Balanced with a long finish. Bold and smooth. Eminently drinkable now, but well worth cellaring. 49% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. — 8 months ago
