Distinct berry flavors. Upon entry nice fruit with a Cabernet Franc kind of funky twist. Mid weight which makes it palatable and digestive. Drank on its own and surely ‘à point’. I would recommend drinking this in the near future as there is probably no more positive development. Nice wine.

Dark red with discoloration at rim. Very sweet up front. Jammy dark fruit. Some oak and tertiary notes. Tannins mostly resolved. Not complex and a little over sweet, but pleasant. It’s a blend but must be fairly Merlot heavy.

Confused by this wine. Nose is clearly Merlot, but the secondary and presumably tertiary flavors scream Cab sauvignon. Despite the label indicating Cabernet franc, I do not find its typical green characteristic notes found in Bordeaux cab francs (Angelus). In the end it reminds me of the 1985 La Mission Haut Brion. Both taste and nose. Which is a good thing, cause this is probably 10 percent of the price....lovely wine, absolutely amazing! Got from Faaf.

Nice red color with lighter edges. Merlot on the nose. Strawberry and raspberry, some distant prune and pepper. Good balance and soft tannins. I like this blend, unfortunately my last bottle.
