A blend of cf 80 merlot and 20 cf from boushey and champoux vineyards red plum and cherry fruit floral and light tobacco spice. A very smooth and silky wine that has lots of spice and nuance with a firm hand of acidity this wine will flesh out with some time in the bottle the finish is long and layered . Most excellent

Fantastic! Went so well with our risotto and garam masala carrots at dinner. So much depth to this wine. Good value.

Still have a couple bottles left of this and we are definitely going to save them. Although approachable now, this wine would still benefit from some time in the bottle. Incredibly smooth the next day. Lots of fruit on this one, definitely a Merlot blend.

Savory blue fruits and enough structure to keep it interesting, and a great finish. Delicious.
