Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, cassis, cedar, and red and purple flowers with a velvety, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish that shows notes of red and black fruit, savory green herbs, cigar box, and mocha with medium, dusty, drying tannins and light oak flavor. A corner cafe with this bottle and steak frites on any afternoon is the perfect way to tastily watch the day pass by.

Graves, named for its gravelly soil, is a subregion of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominant grape, but the area is well-known for producing all of the main Bordeaux wine types. Graves contains numerous AOCs and is considered the birthplace of claret.
