Grapes for this wine were sourced from the Hedges Estate, Red Mountain Vineyard, and Stillwater Creek vineyard. This is their right bank blend, as it is comprised of Merlot, Cab Franc and a touch of Cabernet. It saw 18 months in 88% new French oak prior to bottling. This wine begins with perfumed aromas of blackberry preserves, anise, and cedar with a touch of black truffle oil. There are flavors of anise, cassis, blackberry jam, black plum and cloves with Turkish coffee alongside mild to moderate tannins. This wine will cellar well but it is hard to resist right now.
