"Bodyguard is an innovative blend of predominately Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah — two varieties that achieve elegant harmony in the hands of Chief Winemaker Daniel Daou. The 2022 vintage boasts a deep garnet hue with aromas of ripe plum, berry compote, blackberry and clove, underlain by hints of pine, cedar and vanilla. Juicy, velvety textures expand with layers of mixed berry flavors. A medium-bodied mouthfeel finishes with bright, silky tannins."

"Toasted pecan, baked blackberry and cardamom aromas make for a soothing nose on this bottling. The palate is toasty as well, with espresso bean, blackberry and pepper flavors."
