James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Attractive aromas of plums and blackberries with vanilla, anisette, cherry chocolate and moist earth. Full-bodied and juicy with bright acidity and firm, chalky tannins. Dry and velvety finish with hints of blue flowers and wild berries.  64% merlot, 21% cabernet sauvignon, 7% malbec, 4% petit verdot and 4% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.”

Winemaker Notes: 

"Crafted predominantly with estate-grown fruit, Merlot provides the juicy, velvety core to this Bordeaux-style blend, framed by Cabernet Sauvignon’s weight and power. A dash of Cabernet Franc adds floral aromatics, while Malbec and Petit Verdot round out the palate with juicy boysenberry and radiant color. Delicious and opulent. The Altruist is dedicated to those selflessly devoted to their community. Through The Altruist Micro-Grant Program, we honor local heroes who show concern for others, embody giving back as a way of life, and keep our communities strong."
