A nicely layered presentation of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot, featuring ripe mixed berry, medium oak toast, vanilla and spice that says take me home tonight, open me and let me tell you a story of what’s possible in Los Angeles County. Yes, I said Los Angeles County. The label shows a high level of alcohol present, but it’s not at all obtrusive.
