WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2021 Bodyguard is the latest masterwork from Winemaker Daniel Daou. Bold and brooding, it displays a dark purple hue. Aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, berry jam, tobacco and maple syrup reveal trailing scents of pepper, campfire and chocolate-covered red fruit. The palate entry is big and broad, displaying rich flavors of freshly crushed berries, cured meat and spice. Concentrated dark fruit flavors extend into a sleek, lengthy finish.
Blend: 71% Petit Verdot, 29% Petite Sirah
TASTING NOTES:
Very dark in the glass, this bold blend offers aromas of charred walnut, espresso bean, cassis and fudge on the nose. There is a firm grip to the quite-savory palate, where prominent wood-spice aromas meet with more coffee, as well as charred plum and cassis flavors.
