This complex, impressively integrated Bordeaux-style blend shows excellent breadth and depth of flavor while also displaying a style that isn’t overt in its fruitiness or obvious in any way. Abundant fruit easily counterbalances the wine’s structural elements, making this a strong candidate for everything from stand-alone sipping to pairing with robust foods. Platinum award winner at the San Diego International Wine Competition.
