Nice way to christen the countertop...
Luscious nose of cherry jam and cigar. Drum tight, dry mouthfeel. Not a pop-n-pour, but requires air and bottle age. Excellence in the making. Good fruit profile displaying black and red fruits, along with rose petals. Does not resemble a cab franc. A pure finish with clarity and precision.

Xena! Feminine strength. That is what came to mind drinking this well structured, well defined expressive wine. Finesse, grippy white pepper, vibrant red fruit and layers of soft tannins. Delicious.

Very nice. Especially great value. It needs time though, so don’t think you can open and drink

What an amazing wine!! 4.8 ⭐️!
Fantastic blend of 85% Cab.Franc and 15% Malbec.
Bright purple with smoked flavors, dark berries, peppermint and a bit mineral.
In mouth, mid to full bodied, great acidity and round tannins, dark berries, a bit of wood, some freshness and long/delicious end in mouth. Super well balanced and evolved amazingly during 2 hours...always improving.
