One of the standouts in the lineup, this beautifully put-together red will evolve for 15 years.

The 2018 Apex is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petite Sirah and 2% Petit Verdot. The nose offers sweet spice-laced red and black cherries with accents of loam, dried flowers and bay leaves. The palate is full-bodied and super dense with loads of ripe fruits and new-oak character. 1,000 cases were made.

Ripe and fleshy, with succulent crushed plum and boysenberry fruit flavors framed by anise and gently smoky toast notes, with a flash of savory. Those nuances are nice, but this is primarily fruit and will certainly have a lot of fans for its style. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2022. 1,000 cases made.
