- Unique juxtaposition of Petit Verdot and Malbec harmoniously honoring its dual lineage grounded in a cool, quiet, earthiness yet balanced by a fresh exuberance. Aromas of fresh violets, red plum and sarsaparilla. Medium to full-bodied, with flavors of perfectly ripe black fruits balanced by hints of oolong tea and graphite.
