Their inaugural vintage was in 1999, Provenance means "origin" or "source." In the art world, a provenance is the record of a work’s ownership, from its creation to the present day. Nice ripe dark fruit aromas. Plum and ripe blackberry flavors with bits of cacao and black tea. Soft tannins, good acidity balance, a joy to drink. Should continue to age nicely over next 5+ years.

Bigger than many Merlots in the price point. Well balanced with just a touch of sugar.
