The 2019 Archimage is a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot, from our estate blocks at Blue Mtn. Vineyard and Red Mtn. Vineyard. Aged for 20 months in 40% new French oak, the wine offers generous floral aromas accented by classical savory, herbal notes of the Cabernet Franc. The fruit is both plush and vibrant, with gorgeous notes of blueberries, plums, asian spice, and leather. Enjoy over the next 10-15 years. Best served with great food and great friends! Cheers!

"An even split of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the 2019 The Archimage Reserve Red Blend offers up an impressive bouquet of iron-laced red and blue fruits, leafy herbs, chocolate, and cedarwood. Nicely textured, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, it’s another complex, layered, impeccably made wine from this team readers will love.
