Winemaker Notes

Plum, cherry, pomegranate, tobacco, forest floor, nutmeg, black pepper, blood orange zest in a very integrated yet complex nose. Plum, milk chocolate, fig on a round attack. Good mid palate richness with blackberry jam, plum and cherry, tobacco and earthy notes, tannins are plush and rich and the wine ends with good length, finishing with crushed strawberries, plum jam and milk chocolate.

Critical Acclaim

94pts The Wine Independent (Lisa Perotti-Brown)

The 2021 Arise, a blend of 55% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, and 4% Zinfandel, is deep garnet-purple in color. It sashays out with fragrant scents of kirsch, black raspberries, warm plums, and violets followed by hints of pencil lead and mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers great intensity of red and black fruit flavors, framed by grainy tannins and zippy acidity, finishing long and perfumed.
