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.

I thought I had pulled a pure Cab but this went great with the steaks and was really nice. Heady on the nose.
