80/20 Merlot & Cabernet Franc. Fragrant, elegant, & well-balanced nose is highly aromatic with lovely dark berry, black cherry, blackberry & currant with touches of floral violet, chocolate, herbs & subtle spices. It's medium-full bodied on the ripe palate with delicious dark berry, currant, black cherry & blackberry replays joined by plummy notes. Acids are fresh and juicy, while the smooth, refined tannins have a slightly chalky textured mouthfeel towards the back palate. Finishes juicy, long & savoury with stony mineral and subtle oak spice notes on the long aftertaste. Tasted Nov. 2022.
