Loads of black cherries, currants, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and spring flower notes emerge from the 2018 Master Red. A medium to full-bodied, lightly textured blend with integrated tannins and a clean, classy finish, I’d be thrilled to drink bottles any time over the coming 10-15 years.

Savory aromas of dried mushroom and oyster shell on the nose, layered with dried blackcurrant and tobacco. It’s medium- to full-bodied with sleek, integrated tannins. Flavorful with a juicy, savory finish. Try from 2021.

Tasting notes

The dark ruby color is enticing. Blackberry and cassis aromas are jumping off the glass. On the palate, it has a concentrated body, harmonious tannins and a black peppery and fresh finish. Intriguing and full body. We recommend pairing it with red meat and all grilling fairs. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 20% Merlot that was aged 20 months in 40% new French oak and 60% in 3-year old oak.
