The 2020 Perigee Estate Seven Hills Vineyard comes all from the estate Seven Hills Vineyard and checks in as a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec, and 4% Petit Verdot. It offers a pretty mix of red and blue fruits as well as chalky minerality, spring flowers, and lead pencil, with a more perfumed, slightly high-toned style that opens up nicely with time in the glass. This medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant 2020 has ripe tannins, a good sense of freshness, and outstanding length.
