Description

41% Grenache, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah
Showcasing a deep cherry red and magenta core, the nose expresses delicate red fruits of currant and strawberry, assisted by structured graphite, cassis and blackberry from the generous helping of Cabernet Sauvignon. Opulent and full textured, French oak accentuates the mouthfeel, but is never dominant. This togetherness combines the lovely floral aromatics of Grenache with the savory panache of Cabernet. While accessible now and carrying a seamless structure and mouthfeel, patience will reward mid-term cellaring of around 4-6 years of release.RP96Robert Parker’s Wine AdvocateThe 2020 Audacious is a blend of 41% Grenache, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Syrah matured for 22 months in 55% new French oak barrels and puncheons. It has a medium ruby color and lush aromas of blueberry, red and black cherries, cigar box, cinnamon stick and wafts of powdered sugar. The full-bodied palate offers energetic acidity, superfine chalky tannins, concentrated, spicy fruits and a long, layered finish.
