The word
supple is often overused when describing wine. Yet with this wine it fits like
a glove meaning it hits every note in your pallet balancing the acidity the
fruit the wood and the tannic structure of the wine to make a seamlessly
enjoyable drinking experience. Mature blackberry raspberry blueberry, with back
notes of huckleberry black currant this wine gets better overnight if you don’t
drink it all the first night. Allowing the aeration to mature it and allow the
aromas and the texture and flavor of the wine to come more alive. The judicious
use of oak allows for a subtle and seamless vanilla charcoal mocha expression
that you barely notice but it hides in the background. It’s mainly Cabernet
Sauvignon with 20% Zinfandel, 19% Petite Verdot and a touch of Merlot blended
in. The 18-month aging process used both new and second-use French oak barrels.
