A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, the 2016 Monile is beautifully linear and tight, making great use of the elegant power inherent to these grapes. The bouquet is carefully etched and detailed with dark fruit, earth, light spice, lavender and grilled rosemary. I also like the subdued silkiness that is delivered to the palate. Production is 15,000 bottles.
