From the winery:

The 2018 Calluna Vineyards Cuvée is an expression of our Chalk Hill appellation where great sunlight and a cool climate produces intense fruit in a wine with balancing acidity, round tannins and moderate alcohol levels. The blend expresses the power of Cabernet Sauvignon, elegance of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and a bit of showiness from Malbec and Petit Verdot.

With each new vintage, the varietal makeup of the Cuvée changes in order to achieve the optimal expression of our estate vineyards and the character of the growing season.

Vintage 2018 features 41% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 9% Malbec, and 6% Petit Verdot.
