Delaplane Cellars Left Bank estate grown blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 33% Cabernet Franc; 9% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot offers layered, lush aromas and flavors, including ripe dark berries, cocoa powder, rich spice, dried herbs, and cassis. It stands out with its freshness and balanced acidity, round and plush tannins, but also with structure and a firm body, leaving a pleasant and long finish. This Bordeaux-style blend is still a vibrant, youthful wine with much more to give.
