Country: US

Province: California

Region: Alexander Valley

Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend

Blended from all five Bordeaux varieties, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot almost equal in proportion, this is a lovely, well-crafted wine, softly concentrated with highlights of licorice, lavender, violets and black pepper. From three ranches farmed by the family, it’s both seamless and structured.
