Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petite Sirah, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe juicy berry fruits, floral herbs & spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and black currant with vanilla, oak and smoky notes. Well balanced, fine ripe tannins medium+ finish ending with fruit, tobacco, oak and minty spice! Nice now and some aging potential.

Plumbing and tobacco, mellow and smooth finish. Paired with filet and duck. It works with the duck well

Absolutely excellent. Smooth. Not bold. Flavorful without overpowering. With dad and Valeri at their house after Winchester mystery house
