This wine has profuse scents of red currant and raspberry deepened by aromas of smoke and pancetta. Flavors of milk chocolate dipped strawberries are firmed up by allspice and mineral tones. It is approachable, juicy and creamy with a long lingering finish.

Layers of red and black fruit segue into a finish accented by vanilla, caramel and a hint of butterscotch.

This is an unfiltered blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Tendrils of red fruit, leather, tar and cigar box aromas wrap around a palate that is kissed with blackberry, currant, dusty tannins and hints of caramel. Approachable with some air, this is a wine you can cellar for the next decade.

A rich, dense, concentrated style, this is full bodied, focused and pure, with hints of mocha and black licorice rounding the core currant, plum and black cherry flavors. Focused and persistent, with a long finish. 94 points Wine Spectator
