This sits at the foundation level of the winery’s Cabernet pyramid, and a worthy wine to build an empire on. Bold blackberry and currants get a spicy kick from the barrel, and supple tannins keep the fruit lively from beginning to end. It’s widely available, and that’s good news for all of us – go get it! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
