energizing acidity

Weeknight indulgence with a grilled steak dinner

It drinks beautifully on its own as a contemplative pour but truly excels alongside food: roasted lamb shoulder seasoned with herbes de Provence mirrors the wine's garrigue-inflected spice

Both are California Bordeaux-style blends using the five noble red varieties

The commitment to small-barrel French oak fermentation and weekly batonnage adds a level of textural richness rarely found at this price tier
