Description
Red blends often show that the whole is bigger than the sum of its parts. Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and almost a quarter Merlot, this Bordeaux blend features Malbec and Cabernet Franc to create a supple, flavorful sip. A delicious whiff of black cherry, dark chocolate, pepper, tea and coffee leads you to savory cadence of fennel, black licorice and dark cherry flavors. Drink now or cellar for up to two decades.
