This lightly filtered wine was aged 28 months in French Oak. The oak profile is 60% new French oak (predominantly from Troncais and Alliers) and 40% neutral French oak. The wine was made from 67.5% Cabernet and 32.5% Merlot. This DuBrul Vineyard wine has rich aromas of blackberry, anise, black cherry, smoke, black olive and dill. This is showing lovely terroir. Nice richness on the mid-palate that eclipses most people's '10 red efforts. Flavors of black cherry, creme de cassis, black olive, mocha and smoked meats. This is surprisingly Bordelaise in style.
