This cab-centric blend also incorporates Syrah, Tempranillo and other grapes, and is aged for 21 months in small French and Hungarian oak, mostly second and third fill. The oak influence dominates at this time with vanilla and cedar far outweighing impact of blackberry, bramble and black cherry fruit. It’s hard to imagine it getting more refined with additional time. For now, this is a wine that will please fans of high extract fruit bombs but if you want more elegance, look elsewhere.

Aug 13th, 2022This is bold and sultry wine offering tastes of black fruit, ripe cherry and plum. Is offers a smooth fragrance with the first scent —spices, cinnamon and nutmeg. Love this wine!
