1 person found it helpfulFeb 23rd, 2021Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe red/black fruits, herb and tobacco leaf notes for this Merlot, Cab Franc & Cab Sauv blend. On the palate flavors of blackberry & plum with notes of currants, spice, cedar & smoky cacao. More like a Right Bank beefy wine, firm grainy tannins, long finish ending with big fruit, herb and earthy spice notes. Give this time!! Tasting Sample.
