Can Franc-Merlot ode to Right Bank Bordeaux, drinking easily now, delicious and complex, with a marvel of a finish. A few years left at this peak as well.

Decanted for 2 hrs. Subtle nose of red & dark fruits. Soft tastes of red & dark fruits with a nice finish. Tastes were somewhat subdued and flattened out in the second half of the bottle. Maybe I aged it a bit too long?

Old World character to this 40/60 merlot/cab blend from the new Happy Canyon Santa Barbara AVA. Great nose, mouth feel and long pleasant finish. Tannins have softened by 2015 -- ready to enjoy.

Gorgeous and fresh at age 10...fresh, lively version of a Merlot/Cab Franc Right Bank blend. Last of a case, unfortunately.

Phenomenal. Not too rich, but complex, deep, and tons of flavors, especially dried red pepper. Infinitely drinkable.
