The 2019 Red Blend checks in as 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, and roughly 10,000 cases were produced. It offers beautiful red and black fruits as well as some classic tobacco, sandalwood, and spicy nuances. Medium to full-bodied, round, and undeniably delicious, it's ready to go and perfect for enjoying over the coming 7-8 years.
