2007 Ruby Leigh
Named after our youngest daughter, Ruby Leigh is a blend of Merlot from Hedges North Block and Klipsun, Cabernet Sauvignon from Klipsun and Cabernet Franc from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard and Petit Verdot from Stillwater Creek Vineyard. Pure elegance, the nose is all violets, sweet vanilla, candied roses, mint, chocolate, and cassis. On the palate black cherry, mocha and tobacco lead to a toasty oak and cigar box finish. Soft, fine tannins underpin a rich, seductive mouth feel and silky texture.
