Tasting Note:May 25, 2018

Deep and dark ruby red with a bit of brick on the edges. Layered nose with heavy cassis, dark cherries, spices and a touch of black fruit at the end. Medium plus tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Complex palate layered with cinnamon, baking spices, dark berries, touch of cola, blueberries and dark berries. Smooth and balanced throughout with a long finish.


Second stop in Sonoma with Andrew Berge of Spell Estate, La Pitchoune and Tiny House to name a few. Surprise inaugural vintage from Spell which is made up of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 1% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot from Napa Valley. It is aged in 50% new French oak and only 50 cases produced.
