Olivier's Blend Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc
You know when you taste a wine and your first impression is "man this is what I like" that's this bottle. Dark, full, vanilla, leather, berries, cherries.
Enjoy

I loved everything about this wine. Gorgeous bright fruit, good balance, great body and structure. Man this was good.

You know that old adage, “ life is too short for cheap wine”? So true and I can’t remember how much I paid for this but it obviously wasn’t cheap. The bouquet on the nose is masterfully perfect. Same and more on the palate. Delicate notes of dark chocolate cherries, vanilla and plums. Just a touch of acidity - delicious! I suspect this was the absolute best time to open it - nine years in the making 🍷👏🏻

Oct 1st, 2021Really coming together with a good balance of fruit acidity and tannin structure. Long finish and not overly extracted. Give it nice decant and the wine will really pick up some elegance.
