2021 Xavier Left Bank Blend

Appearance:
Deep garnet in the glass with vibrant ruby highlights, revealing the wine’s youthful energy and concentrated character.

Nose:
Expressive and layered, offering an opulent bouquet of ripe blackberry and dark cherry. Delicate notes of violets and graphite unfold, followed by subtle hints of cedar, tobacco, and gentle spice as the wine opens.

Palate:
Full-bodied and elegantly structured, with flavors of juicy blackberry, cherry, and dark plum at the core. Cabernet Franc adds a graceful lift of herbal notes and a touch of bell pepper, while Merlot contributes softness and plush texture. Cabernet Sauvignon provides depth and firm, polished tannins, creating a balanced and harmonious profile.

Finish:
Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit, refined spice, and a vibrant acidity that keeps the wine poised and fresh.

This Bordeaux-style blend pairs beautifully with braised short ribs, grilled portobello mushrooms, or a rich ratatouille, making it a versatile choice for cozy dinners or festive gatherings.
