2019Royal Slope Cuvée
Deep Ruby in color, initial aromas of mocha, ripe blueberry, and bramble evolve into charcoal, dried fruits, and red huckleberry with time in the glass. The broad palate offers a fresh acidity and polished tannin. Sweet baking spice, red plum, and a dusty minerality linger on the finish.
54% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc
Fermented in a combination of concrete and stainless-steel tanks. Aged for 23 months in 60% new French oak.
