Blend: 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc. The aromas draw you in with rich black cherry compote, plum, bittersweet chocolate, and cigar box notes. The palate is luxurious, rich, and balanced, with preserved plum, brandied cherries, spring flowers, and powdered chocolate. Beautifully textured, with ample depth and a long finish, this wine is a few years away from its peak, and should age beautifully for a long time.
