  Opens very promisingly with herbal aromas, soy, chocolate, and dark fruits. Full body, med/low acidity, mildly tannic, ripe dark fruits and very oaky (coffee and vanilla) on the finish. Negative time derivative: oak dominates more on nose and palate as it opens up. Really good wine and tasty overall, just in a style where eventually vanilla and barrel spice cover some very nice fruit material.

  Recap of Family Winemakers of California; 2012 San Francisco Tasting-Best of the Meritage Reds: Black fruit, spicy oak and vanilla aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with bright blueberry, blackberry and spice flavors. Long finish. Blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc; co-fermented.

  Smooth, consistent notes of earthy, peppery oak with subtle hints of tannins. As the wine opens up there are undertones of spicy currant with an extended overbite.
