WINEMAKER'S NOTES: "A unique blend of three premier Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Petit Verdot) blossoms with the luxurious aromas of ripe black berries perfectly balanced with toasted French oak. In the mouth it is rounded and rich, combining red and black fruit elements with soft tannins for a long, pleasant finish.
