After a 24-month barrel aging, the wine was bottled.This vintage departs from its predecessors by blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc exclusively.The maturity of the Cabernet Franc vines, apparent in the fruit’s new-found authority, delightful minerality and acidity, allowed for more prominence in the blend accounting for almost a quarter of the assemblage. Cabernet Sauvignon, at 76% of the blend, provides the wine’s long and dynamic structure and the nearly infinite finish.This vintage is precise, subtle, and elegant, delivering a story, whose chapters are visible in pours and pages turned in each sip.The story shares passionately the virtues of this terroir, the characteristics of the vintage as well as the entire team’s endeavors for quality and respect for nature.
Blend: 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Cabernet Franc
This is a superb red with blackberry, asphalt and fresh herbs, like thyme and bay leaf. The palate is so refined and polished with linear and fine tannins that run the length of the wine. The finish goes on for a very, very long time. 76% cabernet sauvignon and 24% cabernet franc. Great wine. Beautiful now but will go on for decades.

Light notes of almond and prune blend with hints of chocolate on the nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend. It's a well-balanced red that has a silky texture supporting dried fruit, chocolate and espresso flavors with hints of peppercorn. Firm, supple tannins and vibrant acidity support the palate leading to a long finish.
