Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, aged for 12 months in French oak (30% new), deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits with nutty toasty notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum, with smoky notes, oak and spice. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and nutty earthy oak. Good now!
