A blend of Cabernet Franc (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (25%), and Merlot (25%) that was aged in our native wood for 17 months before being bottled unfiltered or fined. This wine was aged together from the get go in new, two and three year old barrels. The nose smells of sour cherry, black cherry and cassis, while the palate shows both juicy fruits and gritty, firm tannins with black cherry taking the lead in the fruit department, while chocolate and tobacco carry the tannin weight.
