this wine is equal parts cabernet franc and merlot with the balance malbec (8%) and cabernet sauvignon (6%). aromas suggest pencil lead, vanilla, herbs, barrel spices and an assortment of red and black fruit. the coffee and cherry flavors are elegant in style, soft and supple in feel, with a grip of tannins and a tart finish. the wood often leads but there's plenty of stuffing there too.
