Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, sweet soil tones and cigar wrapper, the 2016 Fourcas Hosten is medium-bodied, supple and lively, with powdery tannins and a saline finish. Based on 55% Merlot, it's the first year the blend includes newly planted Cabernet Sauvignon on the estate's best gravelly terroirs.
