Tasting notes
An interesting blend of 61% Petit Verdot and 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, there are 250 cases of the 2018 Red Blend V. Its deep purple/blue color is followed by a beautiful bouquet of blue fruits, candied violets, flowers, and sappy herbs. It shows a touch more chocolate and oak with time in the glass, yet this is a rich, powerful wine that needs 4-5 years (if not more) of bottle age. It has notable acidity as well as tannins, and my money is on this keeping for 30 years or more.

A blend of 61% Petit Verdot and 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Red Blend V has a deep garnet-purple color, opening with tantalizing notes of blackberry pie, blueberry preserves and warm cassis plus suggestions of chocolate box, new leather, black olives and tobacco leaf. The full-bodied palate has a firm line of ripe, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness supporting the brawny black fruit and savory layers, finishing with great length and depth. Give this another 3-4 years in bottle and drink it over the next 20 years+.
