New beginnings. Provocative moment. Expressive, complex, bright, juicy, and forward in place... dark, big and with a lively disposition. Black plum, black currant, dried blueberry intertwined and layered with black licorice, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco with a touch of amaro, black tea and marzipan... delightful, exciting, and just truly awesome.
Blend: 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 10% Malbec, 2% Sangiovese

Black currants, cocoa, violets and plums on the nose of this polished and juicy red. It’s full-bodied and nicely filled with dark, ripe fruit. Powdery tannins.

Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (there are small amounts of Sangiovese and Malbec), the 2022 Red Blend Rb is another solid barrel sample that will be a great value. Red and black fruits, flowers, spice, and leather notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a beautifully layered mouthfeel, fine tannins, and great finish.
