Winemaker’s Notes: For the first time, we have blended Petit Verdot into our Gabriel's Horn, and we are thrilled with the results. The aroma is concentrated, offering notes of cherry, plum, blackberries, and a touch of black pepper. This full-bodied wine features firm yet well-integrated tannins that frame a juicy core of ripe black fruit. It is a youthful wine that is enjoyable now but will continue to develop beautifully with bottle age.
