  Medium body. Soft tannins. Decent backbone. This is actually getting better but do not decant. This is a pop & pour only. It loses too much too quickly. This should be consumed over the next 3-5 yrs.

  Very soft & light. You can tell this has a higher % of merlot. Soft tannins that didn't leave an impression. Honestly I pulled it from the cellar and it was just too cold (55) and the nose was non existent. As it warmed up there was a bit of life left but nothing special. I opened this bec when we were at Cain a month or so ago my wife loves this. Very non intrusive on the palate. Paired with sea bass which actually was very nice. I thought pinot or this Cain and this is so light it did the job nicely. Again some decent acidity, light ruby in color. Light body, with a quick finish. Bits of red and purple fruits. Some chery, fig & a hint of dandelion. Not sure where the last bit came from but I swear it was in there.

  Cherry, berry, smoky nose. Nice and round with hints of chocolate and a slightly tart finish. Blend of three harvests of 4 grapes. 48% merlot, 32%cabernet sauvignon, 14% cabernet franc, 6% petite verdot.
