Aromas of currants, meat and some dried herbs follow through to a full-bodied palate with soft, round tannins and a delicious finish. Will be even better after a little more time in the bottle. 45% cabernet sauvignon, 31% merlot, 10% cabernet franc, 9% malbec and 5% petit verdot. Try after 2020.

Trim and focused, with medium-bodied black cherry, dusty sage and cedar flavors that finish with clipped tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Best after 2020. 5,840 cases made.

Lastly, the 2016 Red Blend Tribute checks in as 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Aged 14-22 months in 34% new French oak, it has a bright, medium-bodied, nicely textured style as well as slightly piercing notes of black fruits, menthol, white chocolate, and vanilla. Drink bottles through 2026.
