Alcohol: 15.2%

Grape(s): 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 1% Zinfandel

Localization: Napa Valley, California, USA

Tasting Notes: An inaugural release opens with inviting aromas of chocolate-covered strawberry, complemented by subtle notes of blueberry and mocha. The palate is filled with juicy red fruits, such as pomegranate and raspberry, which become more pronounced as the wine opens up. The addition of baking spices adds depth and complexity alongside firm yet well-integrated tannins balanced by a lifted acidity that adds length to the intriguing finish.

Food pairing: With layers of fruit and firm tannins, this wine is a natural pairing with grilled meats and fire-roasted vegetables, and fowl cooked over an open fire.
