Tasting Notes:

This classic Bordeaux blend is from the Massa Estate in Carmel Valley AVA and is comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.  Each was harvested separately over the course of September and October 2019 and natively fermented in small batches. Once dry, the grapes were gently pressed and racked to French oak to age before the individual lots were tasted and a final blend created in the summer of 2020.  The wine returned to barrel and continued to age before bottling in July 2021, giving the wine a full 22 months in French oak (45% new).

This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Malbec, 11% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot and 9% Cabernet Franc, which is primarily from the Massa Estate, shows boisterous aromas of boysenberry, crumpled flowers and acai on the nose. Massive tannins and strong acidity rise up on the sip, so give the dark fruits time to emerge from behind that veil. Drink 2023–2032. — Matt Kettmann
