2019 Four Chords
The 2019 Four Chords is a blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Petit Verdot. This wine presents a vibrant nose of blueberry pie, freshly smashed boysenberry, ripe dark and blue fruit, and red flower aromas. On the palate, its tightly wound structure elevates flavors of boysenberry, coffee, cocoa nibs, with a hint of flint. Full-bodied with slightly tight but very fine tannins, it is compact and layered, delivering a very long and deep finish. Enjoy now through 2036.
