A gorgeously expressive nose, with crushed cassis, spiced dark fruits, cinnamon, gravel, and herbal notes. The palate is packed full of juicy fruits; the tannins are super present, chalky, and with a rounded, generous fruit core. There is so much fruit, and the oak is really well judged, adding a lovely spice to the palate. Chewy, long, layered, and with a saline hit of graphite, minerality, and spice on the finish.
COMPOSITION: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Petit Verdot, 2.5% Cabernet Franc
