A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 The Dissident opens with structured red fruit aromas, dusty blackberry tones, vanilla and subtle tones of sage. Medium to full-bodied, the wine unfolds across the palate with flavors of dark cherry skin and dusty plum and presents a balanced structure with lifting tannins and juicy acidity. Ending with a long finish, the wine is an excellent value at this price. Give it a try.
