The Story
It marries 86 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 % Merlot, 3 % Cabernet Franc, and 2 % Petit Verdot from the steep, volcanic slopes of Paradise Hills Vineyard. Aromas of crushed blackcurrant, boysenberry, lavender, tapenade, and Darjeeling tea rise from the glass, promising depth and perfume. The full-bodied palate delivers glossy waves of blue-black fruit framed by ultra-fine tannins and vivid acidity, while crushed-rock minerality adds precision. A long, savory finish echoes with cocoa nib, graphite, and violet, suggesting two decades of graceful evolution.
Food pairing : Serve with rosemary lamb rack, pepper-rib-eye, venison stew, mushroom ragù pasta, aged Gouda, or dark-chocolate truffles.
