The 2015 Cabernet / Syrah Ovide Jack's Vineyard is named after Charles’ father and comes from a site next to River Rock, both in the Rocks region of the Walla Walla Valley. A blend of 70/30 Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, its deep ruby color is followed by a terrific bouquet of blackcurrants, tapenade, dried earth and dried herbs. It's rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, with beautiful depth.

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Syrah, the 2015 Ovide Jack's Vineyard is wild and characterful, bursting with aromas of grilled meats, licorice, ripe blackberries, espresso roast and black olives. Rich and supple, it's full-bodied, velvety and layered, concluding with a savory finish. It doesn't boast quite the length or intensity of the portfolio's true high points, but it's nicely balanced and undeniably flavorful. - William Kelley
