Fashionable country resort in mid 20th century, popular with Hollywood due to 1892 stone Manor House & historic gardens. Blend of 85% Cab Sauv, 5% Malbec, 5% Merlot, rest other Rhone varieties, aged 20 months in 37% new French oak. Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe juicy berry fruits, herbs & spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry & black currant with vanilla oak and earthy notes. Well balanced, fine ripe tannins long finish ending with fruit, espresso notes and sweet spice! Nice! Drink over next decade.

The fruit was fighting with the acidity and the ample tannins were trying to get in the game. The acidity won. Still, a decent wine that a little age will likely put right.
