TASTING NOTES:

THE ALTRUIST 2018

Crafted predominantly with estate-grown fruit, this “right bank” Bordeaux-style red blend allows the velvety Merlot flavors to take center stage. Lots for this wine spend more than 16 months in French & American oak, resulting in opulent notes of black cherry and raspberry jam layered with aromas of milk chocolate, vanilla bean and toast.

VARIETALS:

61% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot

APPELLATION:

Napa Valley, California, USA
