With its vivid blue fruit and vibrant energy, the 2021 Pact might be a Coombsville prototype for years to come.
Dark, exotic spice-with star anise in the lead—opens on a complex nose layered with sweet tobacco, savory herb and olive notes, and a lovely vein of graphite minerality under briar-kissed blueberry. The palate is electric, its deceptive power couched in chalky, tight-knit cannins. Black raspberry joins blueberry, with wet slate and soil-driven, iron-rich minerality spilling into a long, perfectly balanced finish, serious and hedonistic at once.
Blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot
