$79.99

36% Cabernet Franc | 35% Cabernet Sauvignon | 29% Merlot

Right Bank-themed Bordeaux blend, fermented in stainless steel and concrete, aged 22 months in 60% new French oak.

Aromas of red and black currants, blue and black fruits, boysenberry liquor, dark rose petals, garrigue, dark chocolate, creosote, iron, cedar pencil, wet earth, and baking spices. Voluptuous, round, and full-bodied with a pillowy texture. Ultra-refined and fresh with polished, grippy tannins and lush acidity. Dense and juicy with serious weight and verve, yet light on its feet. Layered fruits, spices, and savory notes keep the palate in constant motion. Finish goes on for minutes.

Drink: 2024–2040.

This Red Mountain homage to the Right Bank leads with aromas of blackcap raspberries and grape hyacinth that are flanked by bits of graphite and rosemary. Bittersweet dark chocolate duels with black cherries, citrus and black tea for flavor supremacy. — Michael Alberty

The Right Bank-themed release from this talented team, the 2021 The Raven's Share checks in as close to one-third each of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, aged in 60% new French oak. Red and black currants, bouquet garni, chocolate, iron, and cedar pencil are just some of its nuances, and it's rockingly good on the palate, with a voluptuous, round, full-bodied mouthfeel as well as polished ripe tannins. This is one sexy Red Mountain Bordeaux Blend that will unquestionably put a smile on your face any time over the coming 10-12 years or more.
