Color of bright purple with a touch of ruby note. Nose of tobacco leaves, dark fruits, blackberries, licorice, and some more strawberries. Taste is dried with ripe grapes, zest, really soft tannins, oak. 2nd sip does show hint of sweetness. Aftertaste is resonant with the taste, clean, a bit peppery, and medium long finish. Nice paid with fatty meat. — a month ago

Another excellent vintage produced by a solid and consistent producer. 90% Cabernet Franc with 10% Malbec blended in. Dark ruby red color with purple highlights. Concentrated aromas of crushed dark berries and currants with additional notes of violets and minerals. The vibrant palate features ripe black berry/currant/raspberry/plum flavors and hints of green and black pepper and fresh wild herbs. Nicely structured with lively freshness and vibrancy. Soft tannins. Intense, but all components are in harmony. Thanks for sharing, Chris B! — 13 days ago
