Our inspiration for this blend was the great wines of Bordeaux and, in particular, Chateau Margaux. While visiting France a few years ago, we made a joke of getting a photo in front of the imposing gates of Chateau Margaux which was as close as we could ever hope to get to that great winery. We contracted for some high-end Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Dick Boushey, one of the most respected grape growers in Washington state, and decided to purchase single forest barrels from the Allier forest in France to age it in. We then blended in just a touch of Merlot, as they do in Bordeaux, and voila, this bold, beautiful wine was born.
