Monday, March 18, 2013 - Showing some maturity already. 75% merlot, 25% cabernet franc. Originally crafted by Michael Havens of Havens. THis is clay soil and merlot on clay is very different than the up valley -- more acid and tannins and they blend in the Cabernet Franc to flesh it out a little bit. A touch of olive tapenade, sweet spices, touches of fig, complex but maybe not for everyone. Certainly has the tannins and acidity to go. Betcha it ends up like the old Havens -- earthy and teriterary. Interesting.
