All three of these wines are fully mature, starting with the open-knit, alluring blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2001 Merlot. Notes of roasted coffee, sweet herbs, black cherries and chocolate sauce are all present in this medium-bodied, round, attractive wine, which displays good purity and a fully mature personality.
