Winemaker Notes
This is a rich and full-bodied Gimblett Gravels blend. Densely colored, it has a bouquet of dark cherry, blackberry, dried herbs and cedar. It is soft and generous in nature and can be enjoyed as a youthful wine, but possesses sufficient tannin to age gracefully for many years.
A great match to hard cheeses and red meat dishes.

93 - Tasting Panel
Gimblett Gravels’ deep soils, good drainage, and low vigor prove worthy in this outstanding blend of 47% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Malbec. Graphite and black olive work in tandem with blackberry and a range of oak, sandalwood, and cedar notes. Bittersweet dark chocolate and black cherry sidle up to balsamic and iron shavings on the dynamic finish.
