The blend for the 2012 vintage is 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Syrah, 4% Petite Sirah, 2% Malbec, and 2% Merlot. The wine opens with bright aromas of bright cherry, blueberry, raspberry and cassis. On the palate, the wine displays flavors of rich blackberry, bing cherry and mocha. With elegant, velvety tannins, the wine has a long fruit driven finish and enough tannin structure to age elegantly. 90 Points Wine Enthusiast
