This needs a lot more time in the cellar. Although this was pretty easy drinking, it was pretty thin and lacked finesse. I think it would really benefit from years in the cellar. Revisit in 3 years. Until then, this is a nice (but expensive) table wine.

Medium bodied, forward, soft textured open wine, with a licorice, red cherry, smoke and espresso character that is best for early drinking consumption.

Heart's Delight Tasting (Sofitel - Washington, DC): Vibrant, sweet red fruits on the nose and some vanilla. Juicy but tart on the palate with crunchy red fruits, accented by earth and toast. Moderately firm tannins but still quite fresh.

With fresh herbs and polished black cherries, this round, forward and fresh wine leaves you with dusty tannins in the finish. From a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.45. 89-91 Pts

Lovely and nice complexity. Drinking very well and paired nicely with a fine New York Strip.
