This blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec from White Cat Vineyard, along with Merlot from Thatcher Bay, was aged for 17 months in 60% new French oak. It’s a dark-fruited, velvety wine with graphite minerality layered with dried sage, scrub brush, and powerful tannins that lay a solid foundation for juicy dark fruit. The palate glides to a savory, mineral-driven finish. It’s a cool wine—in every sense: cooling in its supple dark berry expression, cool in its herbal lift, and just plain cool to drink for its enticing texture.
