54% Cabernet Franc - 23% Cabernet Sauvignon - 23% Merlot
"The 2012 Contrarian opens with expressive notes of succulent blackberry and peppercorn. On the palate, flavors of plum and mocha complement silky layers of intricately structured, fine-grained tannins that hold great density and weight.
The lush mid-palate leads to a supple, approachable, and harmoniously-precise finish. This wine is gratifying now and will age gloriously with time in the cellar. With no frost, a mild spring and summer, and a peaceful fall, the Contrarian
benefited from what some say was an ideal growing season." - Winemaker, Aaron Pott
