A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep red with dark edges and Aromas of dark berry floral scents very intense. On the palate blueberry and blackberry with leather and savory oak show good balance. The wine was medium in length with fine tannins. Nice.

A blend of 82% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is deep red with darker edges. Aromas of berries and floral scents hit with some intensity. On the palate blueberries and blackberries with some leather and oak show good balance. The wine was medium in length with fine tannins.

Nice dark fruit & smooth tannins. Went well with a cheeseburger @ Five Guys (brown bag...paper cup).

Funky as all hell the day after. Sharp red fruit and razor tannins. This shouldn't have been opened for another decade.
