Predominantly cab, 20 months in French oak. Barrel tannins, petit Verdot definitely noticeable at 14%. Warm nose, large tannin. Finish is big and lingering. Steak all day.

A RockPile red blend of Cabernet, Malbec, & Petit Verdot. Big yet smooth tasting, boysenberries, slight cloves with a rocky stone finish.

Deep purple in the glass. This blend is comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Merlot is medium bodied and smooth on the palette. Some spice on the nose. Also has light spice on the finish that does not linger.
