A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 L'Orage is ample and generous on the nose with aromas of fruit leather, sage, blueberry, roasted bell pepper and hints of black raspberry. Full-bodied, the wine has a generous profile with dried cranberries, baking spices and hints of fig. The wine concludes with a long, evolving finish that offers up spiced chocolate, dried currants and a cinnamon-spiced blackberry reduction. The wine rested for 30 months in French oak, 50% first fill. 30,000 bottles produced.
