Intriguing little red blend from Santa Barbara with very unique aromas. "This is Rusack’s red Bordeaux-variety blend. It’s 46% Cabernet Franc with even doses of Merlot and Petit Verdot making up the balance. There are cherry, red currant, cocoa, sweet spice, drying leaves and coconut on the nose and palate. Body is medium-plus and the moderate tannins very fine-grained and a little chalky." Recommended by Fred Swan of NorCal wine.

This was huge but really well balanced for me. Needs more time as well.
