A tad commercial, but a succesful effort from a difficult year. Has some Cabernet Franc in the mix but I can’t say I spotted it myself.
Somewhere around medium-bodied with predominately black fruits and plums. Pepper and vanilla. Quite spicy and lively on the palate actually and gains body with air. A welcome suggestion of decaying leaf matter adds complexity as it moves through its line. Tannins are ripe and soft but provide enough form and a dry finish. Good Monday night pizza wine. 88 Good

“a successful effort from a difficult year”
Can’t say fairer than that and that’s what we aimed for, cheers!
