THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Spicy black currants and floral aromas are already evident on the nose. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and fresh, with a crisp edge to the savory currants and a hint of peppery orange rind in the finish. Allow it a year or two in the bottle, and it will reward your patience. The wine consists of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 14% Cabernet Franc. This represents the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon ever used in the blend in the history of the estate. 12.9% ABV, 3.69 pH. Harvesting took place on September 25 - October 5. Drink from 2028-2045."
