Featuring artwork from Tony Angell on the front label, the 2017 Artist Series Red Wine is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 4% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc. Displaying a deep ruby core and purple-red highlights, the wine opens with lush, dusty red and black fruits, with hints of bitter dark chocolate, cedar, plum skin and blackberry tones. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is rich and generous, offering a balanced structure with lifting tannins and showcasing elements of dried currant and cassis, nuances of pencil shavings and dried sage and ending with a long, lingering finish.
