We favor a restrained, balanced style of winemaking that cultivates the unique characteristics of our vineyard. This wine is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Cassis and wild cherrry aromas with hints of fresh tobacco, sassafras, cocoa, and clove. Seductive, mouthwatering and savory notes complement the fine tannins and lingering warmth on the palate.
So rich, ripe and succulent, you can hardly keep from drinking it now. But don't. This is one for the cellar. The alcohol is a refreshingly balanced. The wine is already throwing some sediment, and more than four years of bottle age are mellowing the wine's edges, with the primary blackberry and cherry flavors developing secondary characteristics. Should begin to peak around 2016 and drink well for another decade. [Tasted 2013]
