Great burger 🍔 wine on a Thursday night.
I prefer this over several of their high end double the price bottles.

A normal blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, and 10% Syrah, the 2018 Optimus reveals a deep purple color as well as beautiful notes of crème de cassis, black licorice, tobacco, chocolate, and a rocky, earthy minerality. It's rich and medium to full-bodied, with beautiful purity and silky tannins. This is a terrific introduction into the wines of l'Aventure and will drink well for over a decade.

I need to buy this every year, the Cabernet in the blend makes the bottle stand out

Cellared for almost 6 years and through 2 moves. L’Aventure Vineyards (by appointment only) are incredible and you get the feeling they are aware of that. This estate grown Syrah/Cab/Petite Verdot blend opened up nicely and had long legs. Would recommend.
