A true Bordeaux blend encompassing the top five Bordeaux grapes varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc with small additions of Petit Verdot and Malbec. The lots are fermented separately using natural fermentations, and aged in 50/50 French and American oak (2-5 years old) for 2 years. No fining or filtration conducted prior to bottling, just like the Estate regimen.
While the Estate is a singular voice, the Domaine is a chorus. Complex, given the five varieties in the cepage, this Cabernet has aromas of briary currant, sage, mint and sweet oak. Less tannins and acidity on the palate than is evident in the Estate, there is an earlier window of enjoyable drinking.
