Emblematic aromas of lychee, rose and ginger abound on the nose, with white grape, aloe and juniper. These tones are intense on the palate yet they carry a slightly soapy sheen. Medium in acidity and body, the fruit flavors extend the long, spicy finish.
A blend of all five red Bordeaux grape varietals produces an intense wine with blackberry, black cherry and dark chocolate notes backed by lingering, velvet tannins. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, this elegant, complex wine complements any cut of steak, Italian dishes and blue cheese. Blend: 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 15% Malbec and 10% Merlot.
