Sonoma County is incredible Cabernet country, so using it as an anchor in a blend is exciting. Blue Dog Cabernet is the base for this wine at 50% and its location in Dry Creek Valley makes for fully ripe, rounded texture. Famighetti Vineyards Syrah lends aromatic complexity and rich mouthfeel while Merlot, from Carneros helps reinforce a red-fruit balance of juicy acidity. The final element we needed to fill in some deeper notes of flavor and color was an inky drop of Petite Sirah from Rockpile vineyard. Dark, rich, and smooth in texture, the aromatics are fresh blueberries, roasted coffee, anise, and caramel. Integrated tannins frame a core of ripe dark berries and cocoa.
Apex pours a dark purple-black into the glass. Licorice, plums, wet stones and blackberries lead the way, with smoked meat and wild blueberries framed by medium-firm tannins. Varietal Type: Red Blend (Percentages vary by vintage). Appellations: California. Ratings: 91 Points, Robert Parker (2018).
