a generations-old farming family on the north fork, harbes has been producing wines of increasing elegance and consistency in recent vintages. this merlot-dominated blend of syrah, cabernet franc and petit verdot is especially refined. a subtle sexy wine, it's redolent of ripe sunkissed blackberries spiced with coffee and anise. full bodied yet tautly structured, it lingers on a crisp cranberry finish marked by feathery tannins.
