Union Sacre La Passion Du Diable Cabernet

La Passion du Diable is the dark light that drew us into this project. Always 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is our magnum opus. Our inspiration is drawn from the dense mystery surrounding Cabernet’s hold on our imaginations. Everything we have is brought to bear in this wine.
