The blend is 55% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 10% cabernet franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, which spends 18 months in barrels, a quarter of the new oak. Blending occurs six months into the aging process, and before bottling the wines are fined with egg whites.
Fruity and blackberry aromas and taste, crisp acidity, and a long, lingering finish.
Full-flavored dishes of beef, veal, or chicken.
