    Notify me when this product is available:

    With a deep, radiant ruby-red hue, this wine beckons with an enticing array of scents. Dark berries take center stage, intertwined with a medley of spices and subtle vegetal hints, predominantly influenced by the Cabernets (Sauvignon and Franc) in the blend. As you savor each sip, the fruit-forward notes persist, accompanied by a delightful interplay of natural acidity that imparts a tantalizing tension. Additional grape varieties contribute to the wine's texture and rounded character. It's a wine that concludes with an elegant, lingering finish, boasting remarkable aging potential – up to two decades of cellar aging await those who choose to tuck it away.

    About The Varietal

    Bordeaux Blend

    A red Bordeaux blend primarily consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, supplemented by smaller amounts of Malbec and Petit Verdot, with Carmenere occasionally included. While the term naturally applies to red wines from Bordeaux, it is also suitable for wines produced beyond the region, such as those from California, Washington, Argentina, and other locations.
