Rich, round and balanced on the nose, the 2018 Tapteil Vineyard is a blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Cabernet Franc and 28% Merlot. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers a delightfully layered expression that gives way to fresh, dark fruit flavors that sway with lifting tannins. It ends with a succulent finish, leaving behind persistent flavors of juicy plum, dusty blackberry and soft vanilla-inflicted essence. Only 4,000 bottles were filled.
