Celia Welch is the winemaker here. A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot aged 20 months in 60% new French oak, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is very deep purple-black in color and comes strutting out of the glass with bold notions of charcuterie, garrigue, tobacco leaf, eucalypt and wood smoke with a core of crème de cassis, baked black cherries and dried mulberries with hints of oolong tea and hoisin. The palate is full-bodied, rich and concentrated with a firm frame of ripe, fine-grained tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long with loads of layers. 125 cases produced.
