Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with some Petite Verdot (11%), Merlot (8%) and Cabernet Franc (1%) blended in. Dark ruby (almost purple) color. Intense aromas of cooked black cherry/berry, plums, herbs and spices with a slight hint of menthol. The palate is very fruit forward (same fruits as in the nose) with additional notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, fresh herbs and minerals. Distinct vanilla note on the long finish. Extremely smooth tannins. Juicy and rich. Very well crafted for the price point.
