This blend of 55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon has a fragrant, medium-high to highly aromatic that is open with red currant, cassis, red licorice, minty eucalyptus, plum, and subtle oak spice. On the dry, medium to medium-full bodied palate it has pleasing, well-balanced aroma replays on the flavour profile and supported by a richly textured mouthfeel, and crisp, juicy acidity. Savoury oak notes appear on the back palate, while the finish is long and savoury. Tasted Apr. 2025.
