RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Ultrarich and focused, with layers of coffee, currant, black cherry and mocha flavors that are neatly tapered, deep and concentrated, accented by tobacco and cedar.

... complex, full-bodied, beautifully made effort with intense aromas of leather, black fruits, and flowers. Combining power and richness with finesse and complexity, it is an ethereal effort...

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Franc

This is a parent grape to Cabernet Sauvignon. It most likely originates from Basque country. It is an excellent blending grape, known for making the exquisite Cheval-Blanc. Franc is a little hardier on a vine than Sauvignon, but drinks smoothly at the table.
