Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, smoky spice and earthy notes. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, on the palate flavors of fruit & spice, Blackberry, Plum & Black Cherry, with notes of espresso, vanilla & smoky cedar, lively acidity with great mouthfeel. Fine tannins, still grippy, long finish ending with toasty cedar, tobacco and earthy spice, needs some time to develop. Wait a couple of years on the ‘16.
