A red wine possessing seared plum, freshly picked garden herbs, and underbrush; I am disappointed in this wine considering it’s premium.

Predominately Cabernet Sauvignon with a small amount of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec – this wine has finesse, backbone and elegance; rose petal, Turkish fig, Fall spices and Crimini mushroom.
