Blend of 93% cabernet sauvignon, 5% petite sirah and 2% malbec, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits with oak and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and blackberry with cacao, licorice and spicy herb notes. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with juicy fruit, toasty vanilla oak and herb spice character. Nice, drinking well now!

Hard to go wrong - 2025 Christmas with a leg of lamb roast. Delicious. Had it open and then decanted for about 90min ahead of time. Opened up nicely.

Deep ruby color; plumb, cherries, vanilla and a hint of something herbaceous on the nose; a little hot, moderate to low acidity, smooth tannins, and a long finish; Tastes like sour cherries, black pepper, and bell pepper. Not my favorite, but not bad. Better with food. It was great with a good burger. It improved tremendously after airating overnight.
