A complex blend of 45% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 15% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 5% Malbec and 5% Syrah, direct press, whole cluster fermentation, 11% ABV. Pale salmon colour; brown yeast, strawberry and peach on the nose, with a distinct touch of reduction; juicy and supple palate, soft but fresh, peachy fruit, light but not dilute, green herbs; decent length. In the BA lounge at JFK Terminal 7.

A bit too acidic in my opinion. Drinks better at room temperature than chilled. I would agree with prior review regarding notes of citrus, guava, and watermelon when chilled. Red fruit is more prominent at room temperature. Score reflects $25 price point.

Light salmon color. The nose is aromatic, showing aromas of citrus, guava, watermelon, and hints of underbrush. This is light bodied on the palate with good concentration and decent class. The medium length finish features good acidity.
