The 2022 D2 is a blend of 56% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, matured for 20 months in 47% new French oak. Opaque ruby-purple in the glass, it has pure scents of chocolate-covered cherries, lavender, thyme and mint. The full-bodied palate is elegantly styled with mineral-laced flavors, powdery tannins, juicy acidity and a long, layered finish. 25,175 cases were made.

The 2022 D2 is youthfully coy. It slowly emerges from the glass with blackberry, sweet sage, chalk dust and dried flowers. This is a soft-textured and pliant effort, with soothing roundness and mineral-inflected wild berry tones lifted by cooling acidity. Dusty tannins linger as the 2022 leaves a hint of violet candies and an air of lavender and citrus through the long, gently tannic finale.

Cherries, currants, chocolate biscuits and sage on the nose of this polished, layered red. It's full-bodied and bright, with medium-firm, fine-grained tannins. Fresh finish. 56% merlot, 32% cabernet sauvignon, 6% malbec, 4% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. Try from 2026.
