Description
Made predominately of Merlot, this blend comes from the estates most complex blocks that are often the last to ripen. On the palate, Valadorna is smooth, round, and mouth-filling. Touched with nuances of spicy oak, morello cherries, mission figs, and light violet floral notes.

This red wine has aromas of black cherries, vanilla and cedar. Flavors of cherry pie and black licorice lead to right acidity and plush tannins, lead to a long finish of white pepper and stony minerality.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
The 2015 Valadorna (65% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot) is a dark and thickly endowed red wine that boasts a rich and lasting grip on the palate. The bouquet offers depth and complexity with dark fruit, leather, cured tobacco and spice. There are also softer notes of chocolate and ground espresso beans. The wine's seamless integration of flavors leads to increased momentum and intensity as the wine continues to open in the glass.
