2015 vintage. Napa Valley. Merlot 72%, cabernet sauvignon 20%, and cabernet franc 8%. Made by French native Claire Ducrocq, married to Aron Weinkauf (Spottswoode! winemaker). Nice spicy wine with good acidity, more Graves-like than Saint-Emilion. Good, but not great. I bet they drink Spottswoode at home. ABV. 14,2 %.

Good wine that held up nicely with steak and chimichuri. I'd drink this again gladly.
