Entering its drinking window and showing beautifully. Only %10 Cab Franc but it really comes through on the nose.

Grown in deep soils layered with coarse red sand, in my own winemaking experience, sandy soils yield wines with silky tannins—such is the case with this Bordeaux inspired blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. The nose is alive and vibrantly complex with spicy boysenberries and plums, dust, decomposing leaves, cypress branches and dried pen ink. And oh, yes, polished tannins aplenty, it's got tons of structure and finesse. I'd lay this down for another decade for more.
