This Bordeaux-style blend is a reflection of the estate’s cool-climate terroir, emphasizing both power and precision. Cabernet Sauvignon forms the backbone, providing structure and intensity, while Petit Verdot adds floral and spice elements, and Malbec contributes richness and supple tannins. Extended barrel aging refines the wine’s texture, allowing for seamless integration of fruit and oak.
