The 2019 The Mark, Carte Blanche’s red blend, is powerful and explosive to the core. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and espresso all meld together. The 2019 offers an intriguing mix of opulent and more vibrant notes that emerge over time. I very much admire the complexity, energy and freshness here. The 2019 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from Missouri Hopper, Merlot from Orchard and Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Sage Ridge.
