Winemaker Notes
Lush and elegant wine consisting of wonderful high elevation, mountain fruit. Aromas of black raspberries, cocoa and black pepper with notes of blackberries, cassis, nutmeg and vanilla on the palate. Exotic floral element on the finish as well as a rounder mouthfeel.
Blend: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 20% Syrah, 3% Viognier
The 2016 Red Blend has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and aromas of pencil shavings, dried herbs, blackcurrants, charcuterie and tobacco leaf with red fruit touches. The palate is medium to full-bodied, grainy and fresh with well-tempered fruits and a long, nuanced finish. – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 91pts
Juicy in soft layers of cherry, cola and vanilla, this balanced wine is approachable and memorable. It shows a richness of fruit on the midpalate and a lasting hint of toasted oak. – Wine Enthusiast 90pts
