WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Deep ruby in color, this wine leads with aromas of red currants, warmed cherry cobbler, sandal wood, cardamom, and vanilla oak. The rich palate brings notes of black plum, cassis, cola nut and coco dusted truffle. The wine finishes luxuriously with a supple mouthfeel and round tannin structure.
Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot
TASTING NOTES:
95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot are aged 28 months in 75% new French and 13% American oak. Rife with boysenberry, black cherry, and dried sage, finding footing on the medium- to full-bodied palate bolstered by burly, robust mountain tannins that build with monumental intensity on the long mineral-driven finish, punctuated by leather, black tea and that Monte Rosso spice of dried sage, thyme, and rosemary. Part of the winery's Crown Collection to showcase mountain fruit.
