Our newest Midnight Archer follows suit in the same vein as the first vintage as a left bank Bordeaux styled red blend. This vintage maintains its base Cabernet Sauvignon sourcing from the prestigious Quintessence Vineyard located in the Red Mountain AVA. This wine is blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that also hail from Red Mountain and are harvested from the Scooteney Flats Vineyard, the last piece of this blend is Carménère that hails from our exclusive vineyard, Pontin del Roza. The total blend composition is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 6% Carménère and 2% Petit Verdot.
Tasting Notes: To the eye this wine presents a deep crimson color with violet highlights which leads to complex aromatics a dark fruit which are cradled by thick earthy elements. On the palate the wine is balanced with more dark fruit leading the way to fine grained tannins that present old world essence of cedar and warm vanilla elements.
