A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdit, The 2021 Papillon pours an opaque crimson core with a brooding cardinal rim, leading to aromatic notes of ripe cassis, blackberry, coastal chapparal, cedar box and allspice. On entry, the palate continues many of the same notes from the nose — cassis, pluot, blueberry, boysenberry, shaved fennel bulb and a touch of earth. A round, weighty mid-palate effortlessly gives way to dusty, coating tannins — a pleasing texture — and finishing hints of barbeque tri-tip, Madagascar vanilla and toffee.
