Deep garnet-purple, the 2009 Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec offers notes of black currant, red currant, warm cranberries, mulberries, cloves and pencil shavings with touches of Mediterranean herbs, black olives and black pepper. Medium-bodied, crisp and concentrated on the palate, the taut, muscular fruit is well-structured, with a medium level of grainy tannins and enlivening acid, while the finish is long and savory. Consider drinking it 2013 to 2022+. No known USA importer.
