Lastly, the 2021 The Bard checks in as 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah.

This carries to a full-bodied, seamless, silky, flawlessly balanced effort revealing fine tannins, a good sense of freshness, and a thrilling finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored it shoots from the glass with vibrant notions of crushed black currants red currant jelly black raspberries and pencil shavings giving way to notes of lilacs dark chocolate and a waft of spearmint. The full-bodied palate is firm with ripe fine-grained tannins and a lively backbone framing the tightly wound red black and blue fruit flavors finishing with great length and a real skip in its step.
