A blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon 42% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, 21 months all French oak, the biggest of all the wines with a host of dark plum and currant berry fruit wtih dark spices, mocha, fresh plowed earth very nuanced bouquet. A good hand of rich well endowed black berry, currant and black plum, firm tannins and a good hand of acidity, balanced with a long layered finish, this wine has it all just needs time.
