A classically styled Bordeaux blend from the storied Santa Margarita Ranch—Cabernet Franc (70%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), Petit Verdot (5%) and Merlot (5%). Deep ruby with saturated purple edges anticipates aromas of raspberry crumble, pomegranate, vanilla bean, leather and cedar. The palate displays layered flavors of raspberry and strawberry with subtle spice notes and traces of cedar and light tobacco leaf, with suggestions of gentle earth and fine mineral. The finish is firm yet supple with fine tannins and balanced weight. Aged for 26 months in 40 percent new French oak barrels. Ultra-limited, only 219 cases produced.
