This is 90% Cab Franc with the addition of 5% Merlot and 5% Cabernet blended in. The nose releases aromas of dried herbs and red bell pepper layered with red cherry. On the palate this has nice viscosity with flavors predominant of anise, red cherry and blackberry. This is a dense and masculine style Cab Franc with a ton of potential, however it need some additional bottle age to soften up. (Best 2017-2030) - September, 2015 (OB)
