Sourced from vineyards high in the Mayacamas Mountains in Sonoma and Napa Counties, this traditional Bordeaux blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec delivers bold and assertive flavors wrapped in an approachable velvety texture. Ripe aromas of cassis, black cherry and cedar open to background notes of black licorice and cocoa. The palate mirrors the aromas amidst a rich, firmly structured texture and lengthy finish. Food match: grilled red meats, sausages, hearty stews and aged cheeses such as cheddar and Parmigiano -Reggiano.
