2016 Chateau Duplantier | 750ml | 15.8% alc

The latest vintage of our signature red blend is already vibrantly open, with luscious notes of blackberry jam and fresh blueberry that harmonize beautifully with spice tones of cardamom and black pepper. The addition of Petite Sirah to Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre adds a fleshy blue fruit element while bolstering density and structure. It's an irresistible and age-worthy addition to a long line of acclaimed releases.
