The 2016 PreVail West Face is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Syrah. Medium to deep ruby-purple, the nose is scented of blackcurrants, blackcurrant bud, cedar, vanilla bean, leather, dried herbs and baked blackberries with a touch of pencil shavings. It’s full-bodied, rich and dense, with gobs of ripe fruits and oak spices. It has a chalky frame and just enough freshness on the oaky finish.
