Our second effort of this winery-direct exclusive comes from the superior 2018 vintage and it is a phenomenal effort. Inspired by the rich history of Left Bank Bordeaux wine producers and their terroir driven blends, our newest wine in our growing “arsenal” of reds, flips the script on the model of Cabernet-based blending to highlight the lesser of the five Bordeaux varietals. Rich, extracted and opulent without pushing the boundaries on ripeness, this wine is consumable upon release with appropriate aeration, yet worthy of cellaring for 10+ years in ideal conditions.

The 2018 Red Blend Arsenal BDX Bordeaux Blend is a complex blend of 42% Cabernet Franc, 31% Merlot, 13% Malbec, 11% Petit Verdot, and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon. Another outstanding wine in the lineup, it offers classic cassis and dark currant fruits as well as medium to full body, a dense, concentrated mid-palate, and notes of tobacco, chocolate, and earth. It has a more straightforward, workhorse style and I suspect will evolve for 10-12 years, if not longer.
