About the Wine
Lloyd Messer always envisioned the Calcareous Vineyard site as being a classic producer of Bordeaux varietals. This Estate blend is an annual confirmation of that vision. Highlighting our plantings of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot as well as Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is a testament to our site's ability to produce transcendent examples of a wide range of varietals.
Tasting Notes
Dark purple in the glass showing a high level of extraction. Up front, full of dark currants and blueberry layered upon cacao nibs. The mid palate is full of chalky gravel and spicy tannins with a beautiful core acidity. The definition of a rich and full bodied red, this wine is just now approaching its prime and should gracefully complex and evolve in the bottle for the next for 12-14 years.
