Wine Information

2009 Artisan Blend

70% CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 20% PETIT VERDOT, 10% MERLOT

The 2009 Artisan Blend releases bright red cherry on the nose with subtle hints of mineral and moist stone. The concentration of luxurious fruit and nuanced layers of raspberry and chocolate are pleasantly intertwined with svelte tannins and a brisk acidity.

This wine pairs beautifully with an array of grilled meats and autumn vegetables. It’s also quite suitable for subtle earthy cheeses. Its structure will reward those who give this wine time in the cellar. However, it is very approachable now especially when given a chance to open up before enjoying.
