A blend of 58% Cabernet and 42% Merlot, aged for 26 months in French oak (67% new). I'll start off by saying this wine is good now but will be great in another 5-10 years if you have the patience. Rich aromas of dark fruit and mineral spice. Raspberry and juicy cherry with notes of licorice, currants and floral spice. Fine dusty tannins with a rustic edge, well integrated, nice balance, lingering ending with earthy tones.

Fruit punches you in the face without being Jammy. Great wine that improved with air. Cassis and blue fruit is the core with enough acidity to wipe the pallet clean.
