Tasting notes
Full, ridiculously heavy bottle 1,980 g. A blend of 62% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. 188 cases produced. Aromas of black cherry and black plum. Flavours of black cherry and black plum have a faint sweetness as they are wrapped in a muscular fist of tannins. Excellent acidity keeps things fresh and sweet oak dominates the finish. (AY)

Based largely on Merlot (there’s 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc), the 2019 Red Blend Signature Mountain Blend is deep plum-hued and boasts a ripe, sexy, incredibly plush and full-bodied style carrying lots of ripe black cherry fruit, some spicy, chocolaty background oak, ripe tannins, and no hard edges. It’s a hedonistic bomb of a wine to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years, although I wouldn’t be surprised to see it evolve longer given its concentration.
The 2019 Signature Mountain Blend is composed of 62% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it displays gorgeous notes of plum preserves, redcurrant jelly and Morello cherries, plus wild blueberries, spice cake, star anise and violets. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it delivers a lively backbone and long, spicy finish.
