This garnet-colored red blend has a nose of soft black fruit including blackberry and red plum.

Red raisin flavors emerge on the attack followed by medium-plus acidity and tannin.

Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, the wine is a blend of cabernet sauvignon (50%), cabernet franc (30%), merlot (15%) and petit verdot (5%).
