"Crafting a Bordelais blend that is approachable early can be a challenging task for a winemaker, particularly when the grapes have great intensity of flavor. Fortunately, the character of the Malbec and Syrah grown in the Donati Family Vineyard provides the basis for this wine, giving it a rich mid-palate fruitiness to balance the tannins of the Petit Verdot component. The resulting blend offers deep flavors of plum and cassis in an easy-drinking style that will satisfy now, but will continue to improve in bottle for several years to come." -Winery
