2005 Michele
Earthy sweet aromas of cinnamon and dark chocolate integrate with spicy oak nuances. The flavors of blackberry, cherry, cassis and grafite marry on the palate. The finish showcases the bright acid and medium tannins in the debut of our new, sultry blend.

Wine Spectator: 92 Points
"Generous, elegant and distinctive for the spice box overtones that drape smoothly over the open-textured blackberry and tar flavors, providing a deft dance of fruity and savory that keeps its balance through the long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2009 through 2017."
