Great nose with a smoky topnote giving way to florals & red currants. The palate shows blue & red fruit giving way to smoky plums. Great entry level blend. 54% Cab Franc, 29% Merlot, 17% Cab.

Dave Larsen’s ridiculously inexpensive entry-level Bordeaux blend displays Médoc-like aromas of currant, tobacco leaf, cocoa powder, menthol, violet and peppery herbs. It’s suave, fresh and firm, with bright framing acidity and restrained sweetness to its savory cherry, berry flavors. (ST)
