2016 The Debate The Ultimate Debate

This is a barrel sample of the final blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 The Ultimate Debate gives up bold, unabashed notes of baked blackberries and warm cassis with hints of chocolate box, yeast extract, charcoal and underbrush plus a waft of black truffles. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and decadently styled, it has firm, ripe, velvety tannins and great freshness, finishing very long with exotic spices coming through. 600 magnums are expected to be produced.
