Sale $59.99
94 Points – Anthony Dias Blue, Blue Lifestyle 93 Points – Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
“Saturated purple in color. Aromas of cassis, blueberry, cola, licorice, and sweet oak. Ripe blackberry fruit entry, full bodied, rich textures, exotic spice roasted coffee, and toasted oak aftertaste. Complex, long, sensuous finish.” Winemaker note
Blue Lifestyle: 94 Points “Too often overshadowed by its celebrated running mate [Monte Bello], this exquisite wine sourced from the Monte Bello vineyard, is silky and lush with lovely structure, tangy style and complexity; sock it away for a few years and be blown away” – Anthony Dias Blue (April 2020)
JebDunnuck.com: 93 Points “The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate showed beautifully, with gorgeous notes of cassis, crushed violets, graphite, and lead pencil all emerging from the glass. Showing plenty of richness and depth, medium to full body, good acidity, and plenty of firm tannins, it’s not a blockbuster, but it has the balance and class to evolve for 15 years or more. The blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot.” – Jeb Dunnuck (May 2020)
