A blend of 40% Cabernet, 40% Cab Franc and 20% Merlot this silky wine was aged in 30% new oak prior to bottling. The wine has an aromatic profile of cedar, black cherry, black plum and spicebox. Forward and appealing, the wine has rich flavors of red cherry, Turkish coffee, cassis and milk chocolate. The feminine side from the Cab Franc really makes this wine sing. While this will cellar well into the next decade is hard to resist right now. This is an exceedingly good value. (Best 2016-2023) - September, 2016 (OB)
