Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

The ‘17 has about 8% Malbec in blend. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, floral and spice. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry, currants and sweet spices with notes of toasty oak and cacao. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit, oak, spice with slight presence of alcohol. Nice value!

Mostly Cabernet Franc (92%) with just a touch (8%) of Malbec. Dark ruby color with a light lavender colored rim. Intense aromas of black fruit, black pepper and a whole lot of expensive coffee notes. Dark fruits also dominate the pallet. Hints of menthol, dark chocolate and black pepper as well. Nicely balanced and well structured.
