A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that hit 13.5% natural alcohol, this wine exhibits a dark plum/garnet color and a big, sweet kiss of black currants and sweet cherries, with hints of roasted herbs and soil/earthy overtones. The sweetness of the tannins, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and lush, beautiful texture suggest a wine to drink now and over the next 8-10 years.
