Reticent but complex nose combines minerals, licorice, leather, mocha and chocolate, with lovely floral lift. Suave and aromatic in the mouth. Finishes very long and firmly tannic.
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.
