The bouquet allures with head-turning aromas of black cherry, vanilla and graphite. Thanks to the dreamy balance of vibrant Cabernet and silky Merlot, the palate is velvety rich, providing a hedonistic purity of fruit and balance rarely present for less than $100. Layers of full-bodied red and black fruit are highlighted with blueberry, plums, and mouth-watering hints of oatmeal raisin cookies on the finish. This is a densely-packed wine that will continue to evolve for the next 5 – 7 years.
