The blend of Bordeaux varieties from Verhey, Phinny Hill and Upland vineyards leads with Malbec (51%) and followed by substantial support from Cabernet Sauvignon (42%), Petit Verdot (4%) and Carmenere. Aromas offer up hints of cranberry, raspberry and dried herbs, along with vanilla, rosehip, ginger and vanilla. Gobs of ripe red fruit flavors are met with a bold tannin structure, while racy acidity and notes of juniper berry and cardamom extend the finish.
