A deft blending hand is on display here, and the result is a lovely Bordeaux styled wine whose price will astound you. Black fruit, leather, brown spice and mild dried herbs commingle well, and finish long with all of the elements remaining and blossoming. A new producer to me, and one to keep an eye on. A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition.
