This is a classic California Cabernet with a Left Bank Bordeaux influence. It is created using whole berry primary fermentation and spontaneous malolactic in tank, followed by aging in a regimen of oak barrels, foudre, and tank for 14 months. Like a dark chocolate-covered cherry, this is a supple and giving red with kirsch, currant, and plum fruit flavors and notes of cocoa nib.
