A very intriguing wine, this is crafted from 79% Cabernet Franc, 14% Tannat, and 7% Merlot, giving it multiple personalities. This wine is young and vibrant, while showcasing a balance of red and black fruit, firm tannins, spice, pretty floral aromatics, and very drinkable 13% alcohol. What a great wine for only $15. This will only improve with some age, softening the youthful edges.

Very light, yet strong and full bodied. Very tasty for the price. Favorite of the Horton varieties.

2015 tasted in 2018. Medium bodied red. Prominent earthy barnyard aromas up front with underlying ripe red fruit and oak. Average tannins and acidity, dry, average alcohol. This is a rustic table wine from a warm vintage.
