the ninth generation of the dublois family goes for tight cropping on only 7.5 acres for nectar (95% merlot, 5% cabernet sauvignon). layers of wood dominate this wine. however, it does promise fruit as well, shown by the weight and richness. so it's a wine for a pause, to allow the intense spice and new wood flavors to die down. firm and dry now, it will be worth the wait. drink from 2018.
