The grapes come from selected vineyard sites in California; specific soil information for this vintage has not been published. The wine matured for eight months in French and American oak, 63 % of it in new barrels. On the nose and palate, it shows blackberry, raspberry, strawberry pastry, plum, black pepper, allspice and clove. The style is full-bodied and opulent, with ripe fruit, integrated acidity, fresh tension and pronounced, rounded tannins. According to the producer, the 2019 vintage benefited from favourable growing conditions.
