A very distinct earthy character with a good amount of fresh berry fruit still here with a nice hand of acidity and freshness very nuanced finish big bit still fresh. Finish 45+ most excellent

Holy smokes. Not full throttle with extraction or oak, but in it for the long haul, as the name suggests. Exceptional aromatics from Cab Franc and a graceful mid palate from Merlot with a bit of weight supplied by Cab. For me, the best of these three grapes in living harmony.
