**TASTING NOTES:**On the nose, there’s our signature aromatics from this old vineyard - bright black and red fruits, including a crme de cassis, red cherry, black skinned plums, milk chocolate, fresh coffee and hints of vanilla and cedar. The flavors are echoes of those aromas, but soft, medium-full body and textured (as most of our wines are, very beautifully textured.) The finish is a surprise, lasting a good 20-30 seconds or more and the acidity is brisk and invites more tasting. (AbV 14.9%, 96% Cabernet Sauvignon 3% Cabernet Franc 1% Merlot)BARRELS16-18 months in 15% new French oak barrels.**TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:**Counterpoint in music refers to the interaction between different lines horizontally and to some point vertically, like a melody and a counter melody. The essential principle in the study of counterpoint is that there is a simple melodic line at the core, known as the cantus firmus. From there, various other lines can be created that play off of the movement (which direction the melody moving and the space between each pitch) of the cantus firmus. **PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):N/AOR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):**Bach. Any Bach, really.
