Blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). Medium ruby/garnet color with a slight brick colored rim. Aromas and flavors of dried cherries, currants, boysenberries and blueberries with notes of orange zest, graphite and violets. Pleasant long finish. Soft tannins and creamy/velvety texture. Extremely well balanced. Silky tannins. Aging gracefully.

Still solid. Medium body, compote and woody nose, earthy forest floor compost on the palate. Medium-high acidity, tannins integrated. Hard to beat even at current prices.

Similar to my prior tasting notes. If you are looking for a great early maturity right bank Bordeaux, this is a fantastic option. Drinks well straight out of the bottle. Plush but earthy. Lovely!

This is an amazing pop & pour wine that continues to amaze me each time I drink it. It tastes almost as if it is 10 years older than it really is. This is a plush wine that has all of the dirty Bordeaux funk that I love. While not the cleanest/pure Bordeaux wines, I like my Bordeaux slightly dirty.
