The 2018 Scholar is a wonderful wine that begins our reserve wine series. It is a beautifully crafted wine that bursts from the glass with intense black cherry, currant liqueur, mocha, and crushed violets. Concentrated flavors of exotic spice and roasted sage pair amazingly well with tiers of freshly crushed black and blue fruits. The small touches of Petit Verdot provide just the right amount of grace and softness to create refined tannins and a long lasting finish.
