this is a reserve-level blend of cabernet franc and merlot, given extra bottle-age prior to release. if you favor more than a hint of stem and herb in your bordeaux-style blends, you'll find this quite interesting. complex layers of iron, smoke, coffee grounds and cassis are in play, with a slight bitterness to the tannins. pair it up with lamb chops right off the grill.
