A blend of 31% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc made in the unfiltered method … meaning this’ll throw sediment as it gets older and it should, by all rights, get older gracefully. Currently we’re looking at chocolate, mocha, black cherry, raspberry, vanilla, and cinnamon along with a smoky character that has a hint of floral on the mid-palate and some bright cherry as well … it all intermingles quite well on both the nose and palate.
