Straight up bright red plum and mocha / med body and roundly fruity with some denser secondary notes, texturally, and a pretty fruit-dominant finish

2015 vintage. 50% merlot, 45% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc. Discrete nose. High acidity dominates the taste. Short finish.

Slightly dry, fruit on its way out. But still good for the vintage

High impact Medoc with a strong imprint of new oak. Lots of herbal and tobacco notes.

Deep color, lots of extract. Merlot, Cabernet, and Cab Franc blend showing graphite, pencil shavings, black currant, and black cherry. A bit of a short finish.

At 19.99 this is great, very tight upon opening but opening with time, hedonistic, cocoa powder, dark dried fruits, and herbs
