The blend of 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc reveals its true character after a vigorous decanting. The wine opens with enticing aromas of red and black fruit, cedar, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, baking spice, and a hint of wild mint.

It is a testament to what a Pinot Noir-focused winemaker, Sam Middleton, from a cool-climate region can create when given the opportunity to work with Bordeaux varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. The palate bursts with rich dark plums, raspberries, melted chocolate, and a refreshing lift of freshly cut mint.
