A seamlessly structured Bordeaux-style blend offering dark cassis, blackberry, and ripe plum layered with hints of mocha, cedar, and dried herbs. The palate reveals velvety, well-integrated tannins with notes of dark chocolate, graphite, and a touch of tobacco leaf. Vibrant acidity provides excellent backbone, while the finish is long, elegant, and persistent with subtle earthy minerality reflecting the Rutherford terroir.
