Ripe blackberry, black cherries, chocolate and anise on the nose and palate. Some vegetal notes, mushroom and forest floor add to the complexity.

The grapes for this Bordeaux style come exclusively from Black Sage Bench vineyards. It’s an elegant blend of Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, and Merlot that deliver a well balanced wine resplendent in notes of blackberry, plum, pepper and chocolate. Softer tannins add to the elegance. An excellently crafted wine.

Luscious yet balanced Bordeaux blend with lots of dark fruit and chocolate notes. Great with grilled steak.
