This blend manages to treat a thin line between meaty richness and soft, supple texture without tipping too much in either direction. The aromas and flavors show good flavor impact and depth, but the finish is quite polished, with just enough tannic grip to create an overall impression of focused completeness. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2020 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
