One is immediately struck by the vibrant ruby color and delicate fruit on the nose – with hints of young cherry and light oak. On the mouth, the wine leads with perfectly balanced cherry and cassis and hints of black pepper. A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% each of Petite Sirah, Malbec and Merlot, there is a good amount of vanilla and lighter tannins. Bright acidity and hints of leather round out this wine, lingering in a delightfully long dry, even finish with great tannin structure for 2019.
