For this wine from the outstanding 2015 vintage the wine was fermented and vinified in temperature controlled, traditional cement vats. The wine aged in 55% new, French, oak barrels for between 12 and 18 months. 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored this 90 points saying "A hugely dense wine, this powered by dark black fruits that have fully absorbed the tannins. Concentration from the ripe Merlot is prominent, giving great richness that is, happily, lifted by intense acidity at the end. This wine is just ready to drink."
