Addendum is another new addition to the Black Hills portfolio; a blend of Merlot 80%, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from four vineyards. It was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (35% new).
It has distinct umami notes: muddled blackberry, green herbs, smoked meat, plum compote, cocoa and leather. The palate is equally muddy: salt and cocoa, peppery spices and black fruit flavours lead to a smooth finish. Seems lacking in freshness and needs focus--a confusing wine.
