Carte Blanche The Mark Proprietary Red 2019

The 2019 Carte Blanche The Mark, Napa Valley is a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Verdot. Select vineyards and blocks were chosen and farmed specifically to attain a dense, rich wine framed by delicate fine-grained tannins. Beckstoffer’s Orchard Vineyard Merlot offers a plump and full mid-palate while providing ample nuance. Beckstoffer’s Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon in Oakville provides a full spectrum of rich and dark fruit, while the Sage Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Franc from Sage Ridge Canyon offers nuances of tobacco, plum, and roasted poblano. A beautiful and diverse nose reveals red fruit atop blackberry, cassis, plum, and forest floor. The palate is full-bodied, intense, showing great energy and freshness, blackberry, scorched earth, cassis, black cherry and spice box. Ultra-silky with a mile long finish.

Blend: 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petite Verdot
