Decanted 1 hr. Very smooth, well integrated wine. Earth notes just starting to show themselves. Drinking beautifully right now but has at least 5 more yrs.

I agree w GTFreek TN. There is a tug of war going on between elegance and a rustic quality. Crowd favourite over a tableful of Italian fate. Benefits from a good decant off the sediment.

60/25/15 Cab Franc/Merlot/Cab Sauv. Medium nose shows fresh earth, coffee grounds, black plum, dark chocolate, violets. Palate hits with structure and fruit together, nice balance, medium plus tannins, dark fruits of cassis, blackberry, tobacco. Finishes very dry, but lovely fruit notes come through as well. Very modern style for New World drinkers, also has the stuffing to last for quite a while. Very well made.
