This wine remains ripe and full-bodied. The cabernet franc gives it a berry quality as well as a more steely or green aspect. These drink beautifully with 10+ years age, not so much when they're young.

(Cadence Bel Canto Cara Mia Vineyard) Red plum, berry nose; plush red plum, berry palate; medium finish 90+ pts. (62% Cab Franc, 31% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot)
(Cadence Bel Canto Red Wine Cara Mia Vineyard Red Mountain) Dark to the point of being opaque. A beautiful, expressive nose with chocolate, licorice, earth, dark fruit, spice, and light herbal notes. Elegantly structured on the palate. Less fruit intensity than the Ciel and Taptiel offerings but still delivers with excellent focus and structure. Give two to three years. 62% Cabernet Franc, 31% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot. 14.4% alcohol. 570 cases produced.

My last Cadence and I'm sorry to see it go. Leather, red fruit and earth. These are fantastic with 10+ years of age. I should really buy some more.

Regrettably our last bottle. We have thoroughly enjoyed this over the years.
