Approachable, highly balanced, and versatile "crowd-pleaser" Bordeaux-style red blend, consisting of 55% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Petit Verdot.
Nose: Rich aromas of ripe blackcurrant, plum, cherry, and dried prunes accompanied by a toasted oak undertone.
Palate: Full-bodied and fruit-forward with multiple layers of dark fruit. Reviewers note a distinctive lift of vanilla and a light touch of soft spices on the finish.
Structure: High-quality acidity with noticeably firm tannins. Wine community members note that the 2023 vintage can be slightly aggressive when first opened and benefits significantly from decanting to let the tannins soften.
