85% Cab Sauv and 15% Cab Franc. Highly aromatic, fragrant and complex nose of cassis, currant, sweet cedar oak, earth, red & black fruits, and a hint of mineral. It's medium-full bodied with refined tannins and very smooth mouthfeel. A touch warming on the palate, but fruit holds up well. Very nice, balanced aroma replays with some floral, clove flavours. Acids are very good. Excellent finish length. Harmonious overall, with structured tannins, this will age gracefully. Enjoy over the next 10-15 years. Tasted Oct/2016.
