The 2021 The Classic is intense, opening in the glass with a burst of savory herbs, blood orange, blackberries, crushed rocks and dusty dried violets. It's soft-textured and round, with graphite-tinged wild berry fruits and mineral tones that flow across a stream of racy acidity. Hints of salted licorice and dark chocolate linger on as the 2021 finishes long yet just gently tannic, leaving a pleasantly bitter resonance. The Classic is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Petit Verdot.
