Color: Inky purple hue.
Attractive, well-rounded nose of plum, star anise, and spice with subtle dark chocolate and bright red-fruit lift; dried leaf and underbrush details add complexity.
On the palate it is juicy and approachable, medium-to-full bodied with refined, silky tannins and moderate-to-long length. The Merlot brings plush fruit and mid-palate texture while the Cabernet Franc contributes aromatic lift and a peppery backbone, giving the wine both generosity and structure.

The journey began in 1997 with my father's dream of creating a truly world-class wine from China. Though the road is challenging, our family has always shared our father's dream, and every step has brought us closer to our goal. What was once a crazy idea has become a passion for us and our friends around the world, and we invite you to join our friends and family in celebrating wild dreams becoming reality.
