The grapes for this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Syrah were sourced from the warm Paso Robles AVA, after which it spent 14 months in French barrels, of which 50% were new. This has translated into a plush red with an opaque black colour, and a profile of toast, vanilla, blackcurrant, raspberries, dark cherries, violets and pepper/spice. Excellent persistency and well-integrated tannins will ensure another 7 years of longevity.
