A 3200 bottle production of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that’s toasty and tobacco laced with strawberries also appearing on the nez ... the palate shows a little more complexity and fruit: cherry-strawberry blend with red currants, toasted-vanilla and cedar nuances. Time in glass also reveals coffee bean and bittersweet chocolate before reverting to tobacco on the finish … throughout there is a toastiness which gives the wine a nice seam to lay everything on. Price: $39.95 – Rating: *** ½+
