Crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine showcases the region's hallmark characteristics, offering a rich and structured profile that reflects its esteemed heritage.

Critic Review and Score:

"An extra-dark color and heady aromas of crushed blueberries and blackberries lead to super-concentrated black fruits and milk chocolate on the palate, where silky tannins put a gentle grip around all that flavor. The wine is huge in pure fruit depth yet well-polished in texture." – Wine Enthusiast, 95 points. 

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Deep purple with an almost opaque core, hinting at its concentration.
• Nose: Enticing aromas of cassis, black cherry, and boysenberry, complemented by nuances of fresh herbs and subtle French oak, imparting hints of vanilla, cardamom, and clove.
• Palate: A harmonious blend of dark fruit flavors, including blackberry and black currant, layered with notes of chocolate and espresso. The wine boasts a full-bodied structure with balanced acidity and velvety tannins.
• Finish: Long and smooth, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit and delicate spice.
