This bottling makes the most of a difficult vintage, showcasing the red fruit side of the variety — cherry, raspberry and red plum are balanced against mild spice and herb elements, all delivered over food friendly acidity and lingering through a long complex finish. A good value, and one that will benefit from up to ten years of bottle aging. Contains 11% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec.
