Comments
Composed of 86% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc from the Stags Leap District and Yountville, this wine has been aged 20 months in 60% new French oak barrels.

This Merlot comes with big scoops of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. I get fresh plums, sweet black cherries, currants, red licorice, a little pepper, and pleasing doses of fragrant earth, smoke, and minerality. - Winemaker, Elias Fernandez
