  This vintage’s blend is Malbec based.
  
  Deep ruby color. Developing, pronounced aromas of rose petal, violet, mint, cassis, bacon fat, red cherries, oregano. Dry, high acid, high powdery tannins, high alcohol, long finish. Super floral and elegant while being complex and structured. My favorite Bordeaux blend during this Napa trip. Drinking beautifully but this is likely to age well.

  Tasted at the winery. Bright fruit, lots of oak and vanilla, some plum and red fruit on the nose. The palate is quite tannic with more red fruit, plums, and oak. Medium finish. Decently made, but my style of wine, I much preferred the Cabernet Reserve.
