79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec; all farmed on Mark Lyon’s namesake vineyard, which is Demeter Certified Biodynamic & CCOF Certified Organic. Aged 15 months in 70% new and 30% neutral French oak. 14.6% alcohol. 202 cases made. Pours a very dark purple color with a bright purple rim. Extremely fragrant notes of sweet black cherry, warm baking spices, and blackberry are balanced by notes of cedar. Full bodied and super smooth, with rich flavors of ripe black cherry and dark chocolate with a hint of espresso, combine with blackberry to create a wine that is lush and fruit-forward yet balanced. The finish is lingering and silken, with hints of structure that will aid in aging. Enjoyable now and many years ahead.
