This blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Semillon, Syrah, and Sangiovese has a fresh, medium-high intensity nose that is fruity and ripe with red berry, currant, cassis, and black raspberry aromas. It's medium-full bodied and dry with supple textured and rounded tannins with currant, jelly, blackberry, cassis, and some citrusy flavours. It has fresh, juicy, and crisp acidity, alongside a textured mid-palate. Currant and savoury earth notes linger on the lengthy finish. Tasted May 2025. Score: 90+ pts
