RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

...absolutely delicious. Medium in body, with striking aromatic lift... Crushed flowers, mint, red berry fruit, spice and mocha all grace the 2018.

92+ Jeb Dunnuck

...notes of black raspberries, mulberries, spring flowers, candied violets, and spice, it's medium-bodied and has nicely integrated oak, silky tannins, and a great finish.

91The Wine Advocate

...notions of ripe black and red cherries, mulberries and wild blueberries plus suggestions of pencil shavings, allspice, lavender and bay leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly played with refreshing red fruits with herbal accents and a slight, pleasant chewiness to the texture, finishing with a peppery kick.

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.
