Tasting notes
The 2018 Three Graces is a dense, plush wine built on real textural richness and volume. Crème de cassis, inky dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, licorice and espresso add striking layers of nuance. Time in the glass brings out the wine's resonance and creaminess quite nicely. There is plenty to look forward to. Three Graces is a blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.

The 2018 Red Blend Three Graces is a barrel sample blended of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Very deep garnet-purple in color, it has fragrant notions of rose hip tea, lilacs and fertile loam over core of warm black and red currants, kirsch and wild blueberries plus hint of pencil shavings. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, crunchy and refreshing with loads of zip and zing to the finish.
