Love the cab franc in this. Great blend of franc and merlot. Very smooth. Not much of a tannic bite. Purple in the glass with black fruits. Blackberries are very faint...little bit of soy sauce.

Holy cow! Came on like a Syrah on the nose, then exploded with cherries and roast meat and yumminess. Love it!

Still working on the backyard Parker 99,


2012 Rive Droite, which is Blankiet’s homage to Right Bank Pomerols from Bordeaux. A blend of 95.8% Merlot and 4.2% Cabernet Franc, there are 380 cases

Narrowly missed out on wine of the night. By one vote! Who knew it was 92% merlot? Delicious and one of the first decanters to empty a second time!
