Equal proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot showcase the vineyard strengths. The wine is barrel aged in 70% new French oak to provide the desired aromas of sweet vanilla and pungent toasted oak. The flavors are soft and fruity. The wine structure is firm, but not hard. While drinkable now, the wine will reward those with patience.
