2021 Bridge Builders Blend
Tasting notes
Although this dignified blend is defined primarily by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the other varietals incorporated give this wine an intentional richness that brings together the harmony of flavors. Dramatic in color, it opens with aromas of lush red berries, vanilla, and leather. Dark chocolate and sweet tobacco are expressed on the palate, resulting in an integrated finish that is smooth and lingering.
