A Blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, a portion aged in new French oak. Grapes sourced from several vineyards. Deep Ruby, black fruit aromas with cedar and earthy herb notes. On the palate flavors of black plum and blackberry with cacao, vanilla and cedar on fine tannins. Long finish ending with tobacco and smoky spice notes.
