RATINGS

91Wine Spectator

A seductive style, with lavish vanilla-and mocha-laced oak wrapped around a rich, lively core of currant, wild berry and black cherry fruit that flows across the palate.

91Stephen Tanzer

Aromas of black cherry, redcurrant, tobacco and mocha. Supple and sweet in the mouth, with dark berry and licorice flavors and little of the herbal character.

90Robert M. Parker Jr.

It reveals minty, floral, blue and black fruit characteristics, admirable intensity and palate saturation, and considerable lightness on the palate.

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.
