This is an aggressively ripe and potent blend of 51% Merlot and 49% Cabernet Franc, a wise pick for those who prefer boldness over subtlety. The nose booms with berry, caramel and oak aromas that retain a freshness. The palate is wrapped in decent tannins that frame the luxardo cherry and pine needle flavors that are nearly sweet in expression.
