    Folktale 2019 The Hound Massa Estate Red (Carmel Valley)

    From a historic vineyard deep in the rugged Carmel Valley, this blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 11% Malbec, 11% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot is slow to open with aromas of roasted meat, toasted wood, pencil shavings and black pepper. The wood spice picks up speed on the palate, giving an edge to the grilled cherry and herb flavors. Drink 2024–2040.
