This wine is made from a blend of 4 different grape varieties; 45% Pinot Noir, 40% Merlot, 8% Syrah, and 7% Cabernet Franc. It has an intense nose of cherry and plum, along with a good amount of black pepper. On the palate it has rather firm tannins and a medium+ body. A lot of minerality and earthiness, more so than the plum and pepper the nose suggested. Well balanced, medium finish.
