Not only am I attached to the bell, but what a combination of merlot and cab franc. Even for a '13, smooth and lush with a great dark berry notes.

Hands down one of my favorite wines. We had it before dinner with cheese and fruit. I didn't want the bottle to empty.

Time has done this wine a lot of flavors, originally very tight and concentrated, now nicely integrated and balanced. Still packs a bunch but now the velvety tannins dance on your tongue!

A wonderfully blended Cab / Merlot with all of the best notes from both. Big, deep, red fruit yet finishes dry and subtle. Delicious with the duck breast we paired with.
