Deep garnet in color, this complex blend is both rich and robust. Concentrated blue and dark berry fruit along with notes of graphite, chocolate, cedar, and subtle whiffs of violet perfume. The palate showcases complex aromas of cassis, plum, gravel, and spice. Full bodied with vibrant acidity and a lingering tannic bit to finish. Needs time to knit or decant in youth. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec.
