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

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
