 This multi-regional blend from a collection of Northern California vineyards was aged for nine months in mostly French oak barrels.  It has a light cherry-red color, cherry-berry aromas with traces of pepper and dark plums, nicely textured flavors, accented with cedar, 13.5% alcohol and a slight bitterness in the finish.
