Winemaker
Notes -
"Less dense
than the estate wine but loaded with complex flavors
and aromas. Black cherry, licorice, cherry cola, chocolate
and ripe plum with some sweet caramel oak notes. A vibrant
wine in the mouth, quite chewy and textural. Additional
cabernet franc used in the blend comes through in this
wine in the initial impression and mid palate flavors.
Good length and overall balance lead one to believe
this wine can age"
