Ripe and intense, with tightly knit, well-focused flavors of rich cherry, plum, herb and currant. The tannins are thick and strong, but not overbearing. Has a full, powerful finish.
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.
