2021 Xavier Red Blend

In the glass, the wine presents a deep, garnet hue with vibrant ruby highlights, hinting at its youthful vitality and rich concentration.

The nose is immediately greeted with an opulent bouquet of ripe blackberry and dark cherry, interwoven with delicate notes of violets and a touch of graphite. As the wine opens up, subtle hints of cedar, tobacco, and a gentle spice emerge, adding complexity and depth.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegantly structured. The flavors of juicy blackberry and succulent cherry dominate, supported by a core of dark plum and cassis. The presence of Cabernet Franc brings a graceful lift of herbal notes and a whisper of bell pepper, while the Merlot adds a velvety texture and plushness. Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone and tannic structure, contributing to a firm yet polished mouthfeel.

The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering flavors of dark fruit and a refined spice. Well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity ensure that the wine remains vibrant and poised, inviting another sip.
