Color:Deep garnet with dark purple hues

Nose:Dark plum, blackberry, cassis. Higher-toned hint of cranberry. Crushed flowers and potpourri. Showy, oaky aromatics.

Palate:Focused and linear with vibrant acidity — more about precision than breadth. Powdery dark chocolate and cacao nibs. Saline, mouthwatering finish. Shows both structure and charm. Composition: CS Gateway 1 New 11%, CS Gateway 1 Neut 26%, CS Gateway 2 New 11%, CS Gateway 2 Neut 12%, CS G2N 16%, Merlot Vogelzang 12%, ONX PV 12%.
