“Berries, chocolate and sweet spices on the nose follow through to a medium body with creamy tannins. Round and flavor with a velvety finish. Traditional and beautiful to drink. 50% merlot and 50% cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.”
“A blend of 50% Merlot from Mailbox Vineyard and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 7 from the Big K Vineyard, this wine is holding up beautifully after five years. Rich black fruits, cassis, graphite, and new wood cedar are layered across the full-bodied palate, with dark chocolate, black sea salt, deep forest underbrush, and pressed wild flowers carrying through to the lengthy, savoury-salty finish—quite an exceptional wine from the challenging 2020 vintage.”
