$30.00 / 750 mL Bottle
- Alcohol 14.2%
This combination of 76% Alder Ridge Cab Franc with 18% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot shows a deep ruby color and a rich, smoky nose of raspberry, cherry, and plum with scents of rosebuds, brambles, tobacco, sage and pepper. The flavors mirror the aromatics with dark fruits are intermixed with licorice, dark cocoa, French roast and Horse Heaven scorched earth. On the back, the wine turns chewy textured with notes of roasted berries and nuts, mocha, toffee, and recurring earth, followed by a savory ripe tannin finish.
