...an undeniable success. Based on 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot that spent 22 months in 80% new barrels, it offers a classy bouquet of crème de cassis, flowers, crushed stone, and a hint of smoked tobacco.

...composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot coming from vineyards in Rutherford, Oakville and Pritchard Hill... ...springs from the glass with notions of baked black cherries, crème de cassis, mulberries and blackberry pie with hints of dried sage, unsmoked cigars and Ceylon tea.
