WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Bartholomew Broadbent created this wine as a tribute to his dad, famed taster Michael, who studied architecture before pivoting to wine. Blending 87 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petite Sirah, 4% Malbec, 2% Merlot from Alexander Valley and then aged in both oak and steel, this is hugely drinkable. Richly textured and flavored, the redcurrant and black plum fruit are nicely dusted with cocoa powder and a touch of dried herb. Finishes broad and supple, with enough heft for a steak and smooth enough for casual sipping. A terrific value.
