The 2019 Leopard is 56% Syrah, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc. Full-bodied and richly concentrated, it offers up gorgeous notes of mulberry fruit nestled almost imperceptibly into a framework of cedar and vanilla.

Blackberries, peppery herbs, leather, and sappy green herb notes all emerge from the 2019 Leopard, a blend of 56% Syrah, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Cabernet Franc. This medium to full-bodied, ripe, super sexy, seamless red will drink well for 10-12 years.
The 2019 Leopard, a Syrah-based blend, is bright and vibrant right out of the gate. There's terrific energy here. Cabernet Franc and Viognier lend aromatic intensity and brightness throughout. Gracious and light on its feet, the 2019 is super inviting. Crushed flowers, spice and red berry fruit linger.
