Aromas of lemon-scented candle wax and spicy gypsy peppers collide with the earthy aroma of petrichor after a good summer rainstorm. Talk about a Rainsong. Lemon zest and pine needle make up the lion's share of the flavors, with nice acidity backing them up.

This is 56.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33.8% Malbec and 9.7% Petit Verdot. Brooding aromas of dark fruit, blackberry, cherry and tar are followed by surprisingly lighter styled fruit flavors. There's plenty of acidity and tannin structure there. Time will serve it well.

This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Malbec (33%) and Petit Verdot. It's aromatically locked up on first pour, showing whiffs of cherry and spice. The palate is considerably more expressive, packed with rich, dense, jammy black cherry flavors surrounded by a pleasing sense of structure.
