November 2020

A four-way Bordeaux blend with Merlot and Cabernet Franc dominating, the nose reflects its Merlot, Cabernet Franc base with red berry, cherry fruit from the Merlot and some of the herbal undertones along with a touch of tobacco and graphite notes from the Cabernet Franc aromatically. Medium to medium fuller bodied, the fruit is in the darker red spectrum while the tannins are harmoniously integrated from one year in older oak, but firm enough to give structure to age nicely for several more years. Showcasing juicy and vibrant fruit, this ends on a dry, savory note. Just now opening up this should bring a lot of drinking pleasure over the next couple of years.
