Dark ruby color with plum skin, dark cherry, low key spice, dark chocolate, and cedarwood aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied, lush and concentrated with solid acidity and plum, blackberry, black cherry, cassis, dark chocolate and vanilla flavors with well integrated dusty sweet tannins. Medium finish. Blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon (from the Home Ranch, Ghielmetti Estate, and Smith vineyards), 12% Petit Verdot, and 3% Merlot. Aged 24 months in 75% new oak, a blend of 52% French, 43% American, and 5% Hungarian barrels.
