Winemaker Janet Myers again shows a deft hand with mountain fruit, taming the rustic tannin aspects with judicious oak use, enhancing the rich black fruit, dried herb and savory characteristics with subtle spice notes that will continue to fold in with further bottle aging. Decant near term, or age 2 to 10 years. Contains 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot.
