Bold, vibrant flavor that is good on its own. Great for the price. Cherry and pomegranate base with sage and currants.

Deep ruby color
On the nose strong currant and spice opening to red cedar
The palate medium tannin with high acidity. Tart. Strong cigar and vanilla. Dry spice finish.
Thought it was a nice effort for my taste would have liked to see a higher franc mix or merlot blend to tone down the acidity.
75% Cab sauv
10% Syrah
10% Cab franc
5% Petite
ABV 14.5
