A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot, 11% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Seven Hills Vineyard opens with a delightfully expressive nose of dusty plum, blackberry essence, juicy redcurrant, dusty red and purple flowers and elegant oak spices of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is focused and balanced, showing the most approachable expression of the range, with a tightly wound mid-palate with succulent tannins and flavors of plum skin and graphite. Concluding with a long, lingering finish, the wine offers persistent flavors of bitter dark chocolate and dark cherries. 6,864 bottles produced.
