A fairly massive cabernet franc/merlot blend. Tasty now, but it could use 10+ years in the cellar.

Loads of dark berries of all types, graphite and leather in there somewhere. Heavy hittin' cab franc/merlot.

50/50 CF and Merlot. Incredible nose, espresso and dark bakers chocolate. Ethereal palate. Finish is mouthwatering and goes on for a minute plus. Outstanding and a really beautiful wine.

This merlot/ cab franc blend is plush Napa opulence at its very best. It is all about the fruit which draws you in from the big cherry nose with a dusting of fresh cut flowers. The palate is so silky and smooth and a rush of pure fruit with just enough minerality on the finish to keep the wine anchored. Dark cherries and milk chocolate scream forth on the palate and this is a hedonistic wine. The tannins are silky smooth and integrated so that they are barely noticeable. This wine is a meal in itself and ready to drink now. I don't think age will do this any good. Old world wine lovers this isn't for u.

Astonishing aromatics here; dark rich and hugely concentrated fruits, toasty oak and deep mineral accents frame this full-bodied and structured red, which thanks to its massive yet grainy tannins remains subtle and refined. Big wine but not over the top, this is greatly balanced and sexy. Offering loads of interest thanks to its CF-component.
