The 2022 blend consists of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Syrah. This one turns out to be quite full-bodied but is still ready to drink. Cherry and cranberry with some black olive aromatics emerge quickly. The flavors are cherry-ish with black pepper for added interest. Overall, it offers ripe black fruit, but the flavors avoid being overly juicy and the finish is lengthy with dried herbs and dusty tannins.
