This Bordeaux-inspired red blend opens with inviting aromas of mocha and caramel. On the palate, ripe blackberry and raspberry flavors unfold with richness and depth, framed by smooth tannins and balanced acidity. The long, layered finish leaves a lasting impression of elegance and warmth.

The Cabernet fruit came from our Estate Block 7 vineyard. The deep, gravelly soils in this vineyard promote low to moderate vigor, encouraging the vines to produce rich, concentrated fruit. Water drains quickly in this soil which compels deep root growth for accessing water and nutrients found in the rich subsoils below. The remaining grapes were grown in our Estate Blocks 17, 10, and 15.
The growing season was consistent and mild. Signs pointed to an early harvest until a late August/early September heat wave pushed ripening in some blocks, resulting in a quickened harvest pace. But September rain brought a sigh of relief, refreshing the vines and allowing more hang time for the remaining grapes. Overall, the result was concentrated and flavorful fruit, creating great acid balance.
