**Extraction Mission #4: French Resistance** reveals dark cherry and blackberry fruit layered with violet, cedar, and bittersweet chocolate notes. Fresh acidity balances the structured palate, where finely tuned tannins deliver a focused, earth-driven finish reminiscent of refined Napa Cabernet from the Judgment of Paris era. Aged in a mix of French and American oak, it offers ripe black fruit with subtle spice and coffee, maintaining poise without excess. The medium-bodied texture suits everyday enjoyment. Decant for an hour and pair with smoked brisket or grilled lamb chops.
