Made from 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Water Witch Red Blend comes from the Quintessence vineyard. The nose offers dark red-fruited aromas wrapped with the dusty, ferric expression of Red Mountain. Delicate resinous purple flowers waft from the glass with elements of oak spices. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers a precise and focused fruit expression with succulent acidity and fine-grained tannins. This delightful wine should have no problem aging until its 15th birthday. The wine rested for 21 months in French barrels. 7,200 bottles produced.
