Tasting Notes
76% Cabernet Sauvignon
19% Merlot
5% Cabernet Franc.
Deep ruby in color, this powerful Bordeaux
blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and
Cabernet Franc has beautiful aromas of
black plum, vanilla bean, cedar chest, and
worn leather. The palate is boldly
structured yet incredibly balanced, with
sturdy tannins providing an age-worthy
backbone complemented by refreshing
acidity. Lush flavors of fresh black cherry,
ripe black plum, vanilla cream, and cigar
box continue the rich and delicious style of
previous BDX vintages.

Winemaker Notes
The NumbSkull lineup started with the Mark Ryan family of wines with the 2014 vintage. Mark wanted to explore vineyards in Walla Walla and create wines representative of the valley. He continued to explore other AVA's and sites as the NumbSkull labels expanded.
