Ripe black cherry, cassis, and blackberry lead the nose, layered with subtle cocoa, cedar, and warm vanilla from the oak.

The palate is full-bodied and plush, with firm, well-integrated tannins that give the wine real structure without feeling heavy. Notes of dark plum, baking spice, and a touch of earth carry through a long, polished finish. It shows the classic Saint Helena balance of richness and freshness, in a style that will appeal to fans of left-bank Bordeaux or traditional Napa Cabernet.

Serve with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, or mushroom-stuffed portobellos.
