A blend of 60% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Uriah has a dark ruby core with a lighter ruby edge and offers aromas of dusty cherry skin, black plum, crème de cassis and hints of dusty leather. Medium to full-bodied, sensations of juicy plum compote, blackberry skin and bitter dark chocolate sway across the palate with elements of cedar and dried tobacco before showing dusty, fine-grained tannins that linger onto the finish. The wine rested for 18 months in French oak, 25% new. Give it a try. Only 3,600 bottles were produced.
