Composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc, this instantly opens with aromas of ripe cherries and dark plum followed by sweet spices and mocha along with a touch of toasted hazelnut. The medium body is round and velvety all the way through the finish, where it leaves behind a lovely streak of ripe red fruits and sweet spices lingering. This should be ready to go upon release and continue to drink over the course of the next 5-6 years. (Best 2015-2021) - October, 2015 (OB)
