Appearance
Deep ruby to opaque purple core with a vibrant rim.
Nose
Expressive and layered. Ripe blackberry, cassis, and boysenberry dominate, supported by violet and lavender florals. Secondary notes of licorice, clove, cracked black pepper, and wild herbs emerge, with subtle toasty oak and a hint of earth.
Palate
Full-bodied and plush with a velvety texture. Concentrated dark fruit—black cherry, blackberry, and blue fruits—is balanced by fresh acidity.
The blend shows complexity:
Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and lift
Zinfandel brings ripe berry richness
Grenache contributes spice and earth
Syrah provides depth and muscle
Tannins are smooth but present, giving shape without heaviness.
Finish
Long and persistent, with dark fruit, spice, and floral lift, plus a subtle savory/earthy undertone.
Overall Impression
A balanced, high-intensity Napa field blend—fruit-forward yet structured, combining opulence with freshness. Full-bodied, velvety, and energetically balanced.
