The wine is composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance Merlot Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc aged in 60% new French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color it sports a fragrant perfume of toasty oak mineral cassis violets and blackberry. Round rich and concentrated on the palate this lengthy effort will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and will offer optimum drinking from 2013 to 2023.
