Showcases signature aromatics consistent with its lineage-intermingling black and red fruits, cedar, and baking spice. The palate produces mouth-watering acidity supporting a tapestry of black and red fruits, black cherry, and cedar box complexity. Its elegant structure promises impressive aging potential. Undeniably delicious.Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot Precise and tightly focused, with handsome black cherry, tobacco and dusky spice flavors that gather tension and tannins on the finish. The wine's black fruit aromas are almost outshone by its candied lavender and loamy soil notes. However, its blackberry and black cherry flavors dominate the palate, joined by traces of cedar and espresso. The medium-bodied wine's acidity is juicy, but its black tea tannins are formidable. The Dissident, 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, spent 18 months in French oak that was 40% new and 60% used.
