Inspired by the classic cuvées of Bordeaux, Seventeen Forty is a Cabernet Sauvignon- driven wine with harmonious complements Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This wine is named for the centuries-old Spanish monastery bell that today hangs at our winery, signifying our passion for legacy and heritage.

This vintage boasts a deep purple-red hue that sets a tone of depth and concentration. The nose is loaded with multidimensional aromas, blending fruit-forward notes of blackberry, blueberry jam and ripe black cherry with a complement of coffee and vanilla. Seamless flavors of boysenberry, plum and candied strawberry anticipate traces of sage and mocha, all concluding with fresh acidity and balanced tannins.

Blend: 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Cabernet Franc, 14% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot

Barrel Aged: 20 months in 80% new French oak
