A blend of 53% Cabernet Franc and 47% Malbec, it’s aged in 25% new French oak barrels and produces a glimmering purple-ruby core with a silvery rim. Earthy on the nose and palate, it sports notes of black pepper, dusty road, red and blue plum skin, charcuterie, and crushed black cherry. Tannins are in check alongside a backbone of elevated acidity and a spice and earth-driven finish. 412 cases were produced.
