Firm and ripe, a medium-weight wine with a fleshy texture and spicy, cedary currant and mineral aromas and flavors, all of it smoothly shaped into a wine that should continue to improve through 1999.
One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
