The 28% Cabernet franc provides smoothness; the 24% malbec gives it inky dark color and rich tannin; the 48% Cabernet sauvignon gives it flavor and bouquet and makes it worth drinking. This is a superb blend

Jeff's party. Very dark, inky 24% Malbec, no wonder! Wine had been open for 7 hours and still a tannic monster, but fruit starting to show through, blackberry and plums, with citrus notes on the long finish.

Gorgeous wine with lots of new world fruit for sure, but still very well balanced and definitely not over the top.

27th Annual Central Coast Wine Classic (Avila Beach Golf Resort): Great color. Franc nose, a moster wine, great big tannins.
